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?
