EMPLOYMENT VISA STATUS

I am currently employed on my H1B work visa and will need sponsorship to work for an employer. However, as I already have the authorization for 3 years starting October 2011, my immigration lawyer will take care of all the formalities and transferring the visa and work authorization from my current employer to a new employer if a offer is made. These formalities will be taken care of during the 2 weeks notice that I plan to give to my current employer.
