Does an H-1B transfer need the lottery?
No. If you already hold an H-1B counted against the cap, a new employer can file a transfer petition at any time of year.
Can I start the new job before the transfer is approved?
Usually yes, once the new employer's petition has been filed, under H-1B portability. Confirm the details for your case with an immigration attorney.
How are these roles chosen?
They're at employers whose recent H-1B hires include a meaningful number of transfers, or whose postings say they accept transfers.
