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.

H1B Visa Jobs Research Team
Counted from US Department of Labor LCA disclosure files (FY2021–2026) for filings with a Oregon worksite, filtered to certified petitions with annual wages between $30K and $1M, using DOL's change-of-employer flag. Transfer share is measured against filings where DOL actually recorded that field, older disclosure schema generations omit it, and including those would understate every share shown here. A certified LCA is a step toward an H-1B petition, not an approved transfer.
