So if it can be transferred, normally how long will my new H1B be?
-Yes. Normally, it takes 2 to 3 months to get it approved. But after your new employer files the transfer (get the receipt), you can work for the new employer.
Can I or my employer specify the expiration date of new I-797 (approval of transfer), say the new H1B can be valid for another 3 years?
-Yes, the employer needs to indicate the start date and the ending date on the Form I-129, normally maximum is 3 years or less.
