Dear Attorney Gurfinkel,
I am currently an H-1B visa holder, but ever since I came to the US, I  never worked for the employer who petitioned me. My visa will expire in  a few months. Fortunately, I was able to find another employer who is  willing to sponsor me. Will I encounter any problems with the USCIS if I  file for a change of employer?
