kiku83 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Hi, Recently I got laid off from my startup (on H1B visa with I-140 approved) and 2 months grace period expired on April 1st. On March 26th, I applied for H4 COS and now my extension is pending. I got offer from another startup this week, Can I start working after getting the H1B receipt or should wait until H1B transfer processing is complete? Are there any options to start working immediately? If not, can I start working as an unpaid intern and is it legal? Comments are appreciated. Thanks Edited May 7, 2020 by kiku83 Missed to include I-140 info Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Better start working after approval but in your case it seems you do not have H4 EAD also now. So I feel you can take risk and join on H1B receipt to start work and get paid. If you can best is H1B approval. If not, can I start working as an unpaid intern and is it legal? - Illegal I guess.
