H1B Visa Transfer

USH1B · #1 Aug 7, 2008, 05:10 AM

Hi, Hope you can help me out.
I have a H1B visa, it expires in Sep 2009. I have been working for the past 20 months. I recently quit my job (4 weeks ago). I am back in the UK now but want to work again in the US. What is the best way. I know I am "out of status" as not been on company pay roll for 4 weeks. Is it possible to do a H1B transfer if I was offered a another job and my old employer has not cancelled the visa?
Many thanks
James

Thanks, but I know my previosu employer has not cancelled my H1B Visa. Is is possible to do a visa transfer then if it is still open.
