I am not sure if I am making the right decision.
I should complete my PhD by this time next year (if I get feedback on time as my supervisor has been taking forever to give feedback).
I reached out to a professor about doing a post doc or working under him as a visiting PhD student. She responded about three months later and noted that she was very interested in working with me asap. She further proposed that if she gets a scholarship, was I willing to transfer my PhD to her university.

As much as I'd love to do this, but I have one year to go so I don't know if I should say yes? She is an expert in my field and someone I would love to work with. I am tempted to accept because I don't get much attention from my supervisor (I have posted about this earlier). My partner thinks I should say yes and see if the process is completed before I finish my PhD as he strongly feels that things will not improve unless I go ahead to submit whether or not I got feedback for all my chapters.

Thank you for your insights and be well.

Hanginthere, does ur uni allow transfers? Will a transfer delay ur graduation? Have u spoken to the prof's students to know more about the person's character? She did respond late (3 months later) after all.

And she does want to steal her colleague's (in the field) student...

Better the devil you know? But then again, could be an opportunity...

She was on the field hence the reason for the lateness in her response. I have not asked her students, however, my research about her past students showed that they are doing great. Graduate in record time, published with her and continue to do good things in their respective careers.

I am not sure if I should even consider making the enquiries, but, I worry that my partner might be right one year from now.

Thank you so much for your response.

I know! Better the devil I know. But the current devil has been a source of depression sometimes. Like you noted, could be an opportunity... Might never know if I don't take the risks?

Whatever happens, I just hope I make the right decision.

I think you would find it very difficult to transfer at this late stage and there really is no point. It's quite odd of this person to suggest this if you ask me. I would tell her it's not possible. There's no indication this person is going to be a better supervisor than the ones you've already got. Just tell you it's a postdoc you're after. If she really wants to work with you and she can get funding, then there's no reason this funding can't be for a postdoc.

Perhaps you can start making enquiries (uni & phd transfer, past phd students, etc) so you can quickly make the best informed decision for yourself. Also, ask her what project will you work on. Good luck!

I'd agree that transferring might substantially lengthen your time to PhD completion not just because of rules on the minimum period of registration, but because you wouldn't necessarily be able to use your current data etc (depending on your current university's intellectual property rules and what sort of funding you've had). A postdoc would be much better for you really.

Thank you so much for your input/feedback.
I appreciate. I shared these views with my partner and he sort of agrees too. I have also sent an email to the Prof. proposing that she consider me for post doc instead.
