I have an H1b with company A and I was notified that I will have an interview for the Green card in 2 months. I have a master's degree. I got a job offer from another company B though, which is huge and I want to work for them. I am afraid to transfer the H1b to them because my lawyer told me that the immigration officers will get suspicous in the interview and will not give me the Card if a month before I have the interview I transfer from A to B. He says that I have to work for the employer that sponsored me.I filed for a consulate processing. Company B can not wait. Is there any legal way around this?

For such an important question, this is not the place. I suggest that you contact the US Immigration Service Customer Service directly for that answer if you feel that you can't trust your lawyer's counsel.

Here is the Website with toll-free numbers and there are several contact resources available to you.

If the company B can't wait, there is not too much that can be done, as H1B/Green Card employment guidelines are VERY strict and they are required by federal law to comply. Since co.B is huge, ther will be other jobs in the future and there are other companies. Have faith and patience. Welcome to the U.S in advance!

There is no legal way around the requirement that you work for the company that sponsored you.
