So where to start... You missed the 2017 H1B application window. It's over this year since the quota has been reached already. Companies who want to hire someone on an H1B will have to submit the application in April 2018, then, wait until October 2018, which is the next fiscal year when your visa will be "activated". You can't join the company earlier. So we're talking about you starting in October 2018 if you're trying to join a company via an H1B visa today. That is the exact reason why companies refuse to hire people via H1B. They need people right now, not it 18 months. Though, they can easily transfer an existing H1 visa without any deadline nor quota. That's why they do accept H1 transfers. Which country are you from in Europe? The government is responsible for immigration related stuff, I doubt they can guaranty any transfer from Europe. It's out of their reach. Look at J1 visa's, maybe you can join a company on an J1 (no quota, no deadline), then in April next year they can apply for an H1B. You'll be under J1 for about 18 months until October 2018, which will allow you to stay and start working in the US right now. Usually J1 visa's are for internships, etc.
