Computer Network Architects H-1B Transfer Rate 2026
1,373 certified H-1B change-of-employer petitions were filed for Computer Network Architects roles (FY2021–2026) — 22.5% of all Computer Network Architects filings where DOL recorded whether the petition was a transfer. Median offered wage on a transfer is $138K/year.
What Counts as an H-1B Transfer
An H-1B "transfer" is a new employer filing an H-1B petition for someone already holding H-1B status. On the underlying Labor Condition Application, DOL records it as a change of employer — that flag is what these figures count.
Transfers are not subject to the annual H-1B cap or the lottery, which is why they can be filed at any point in the year. Under H-1B portability you can generally begin work once USCIS receives the petition, rather than waiting for approval.
