My colleague and I work for a large tech company. We have an idea that we want to pursue for our startup. We\u2019re both on H-1B visas. Our I-140 EB-2 green card petitions have been approved, but we\u2019re waiting for our priority dates to become current for our green cards. How do we get our H-1Bs transferred to a new startup?
