So is it possible for me to travel to usa on my own and search for a job and then look for some consultancy for h1b transfer. Or I should look for a company which can do h1b transfer . Once its approved then only travel to usa. Please tell me the feasibility of these .

Best Answer

Almost certainly not. Your sponsoring company signed a labor certification stating that you were essential and they might lose the ability to sponsor more H1Bs if they fire you even before you arrive.

On your end, you’d lose the H1B if you arrived without the job at the company listed on your H1B. It’s not a work-anywhere visa.
