发帖数: 71 | 1 currently a postdoc holding H1-B acadamic visa, just accepted another
postdoc position in another school
however the secretary in new school told me there is a process called LCA
Prevailing Wage request before H1B transfer request, which may take 2-3
month for approval, so I have to wait for another 3 months at least to start
my work.
Really want to go asap, does anyone have knowledge about it? is it necessary
? anyway to speed up the process?
thanks a lot | s*******f

LCA
start
necessary
There is no such thing as H1-B transfer for non-profit organizations. The
reason is that non-profit H1-B has no cap. Whenever you change from one to
another non-profit org. You have to apply a new H1-B. You can ask your
future employer to do the premium processing, called pp. Of course, if
will cause $1000 or so more but it expedites the process.

it requires a petition. But that petition is for change of employer only,
not a totally new one.

总的时间，如果用pp，两周加上LCA的一周，一个月内能搞定。

发帖数: 2105 | 5 Agree. Still needs to go through LCA to check if it reaches the prevailing
wage line, which cost an uncertain amount of time (1 week to several months)
, but once it arrives at USCIS, and you receive the receipt, you can go to
your new job as it is a H1B transfer.

发帖数: 71 | 6 谢谢大家的答案，看来这个LCA request是必须的，而且时间不太固定，我一朋友也说
似乎最近这个过程比较久，我猜大概跟政府消减开支导致的工作效率低下有关~
没办法了，只能耗着了 |
