Hi Rajiv ji, This is Harsh. I work for an employer A on STEM OPT. They registered me for the h1b lottery but it didn't get picked up. But I also had another offer from other employer B they also registered me for the h1b lottery and it got picked up and they have filed my h1b case and it's approved now. Can I transfer my h1b to employer A now before October 1 ? Please let me know
If the employer who filed your H1B revokes it before October 1, the current thinking of the USCIS is that you have lost your place in the lottery.

I797 is approved but got layoff before Oct 1st.
Hi Rajiv Sir, I got my I797 approval notice from USCIS for employer A. But unfortunately got terminated. I may not have Oct paystubs to show to my new employer. Will my H1B turn null and void and my new employer has to file it again. Or H1B transfer is possible?

Pay stubs are not really the main problem, as long as your employer does not revoke your H1B before October 1, you should be able to transfer.
