ORIGINAL POSTER

I just received my non-B visa. I have since received an offer from another company which I prefer to work at. Do I need to apply for another non-b visa or will the current one suffice?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The current non-B visa is typically tied to your employer. If your visa has the company's name written on it, it may not be valid for your new job. Most likely, you will need to apply for a new non-B visa associated with the new employer. Keep in mind that this process could require you to leave the country and incur additional costs.

And will need to leave country again etc.
