Hi,

I'm an IT engineer having 9+ years experience in API development in IT Industry, India

My visa got stamped last year and did not travel  to US and I'm planning to move from my current employer.

Is it possible for me to find a new sponsor and transfer the H1b to the new employer , if yes, Could you please guide me ?

For H1B portability rules to apply you need to be in the US and working for your original H1B employer.

If you get a new employer, they should file a new H1B for you. If you have an active H1B, they would file it as “change of employer”, but you need an approval before actually coming to the US and beginning employment. 
 

So you have been working from India for a U.S. company since last year? What address is on your LCA?
