GAP in I797 and I-94 periods.

 

I got my H1B through employer A , my I797A and I94 was valid till Nov-30-2013. On Oct-10-2013 before h1b /i94 expiry, i applied for H1B transfer through employer B. 

Which got approved and got my approval notice today.

 

I noticed there is a gap between new I-94/I797A date and the old i94.

 

In the new I94, the date is mentioned as  valid from March-03-2014 to Sep-30-2015.

 

There is a gap from Dec-01-2013 to March-02-2014 ?

 

Is that means, out of status or illegal stay. Whether i need to correct those details.

Also, I started working for the new employer from Oct-20-2013.

 

Want to know,

1. Due to these gaps in I-94 date, is it means illegal stay ?
2. Let me know whether i need to correct these details and if so, what are things i need to
    do.

Though it is allowed to join new employer based on receipt notice you should have waited for approval. That is the reason for the gap. Nothing to worry as what you have done is legal.
