sivad Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 No, you will have to start working from the date of your H1b is approved. Link to comment
livliv Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 You cannot begin until you get the approval with change of status. You can upgrade it to premium and get a decision in 15 days. Also, you have a job with the H1 petitioner. You must work for them and get paid as per LCA after change of status, irrespective of whether they have a project for you or not. Link to comment
murphyd Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 What do you mean , you have got a job recently. H1B is filed by your employer because they are offering you a job. So, how can you find a job, after your h1b is applied? Did you mean you found another job? If this is the case, you will have to apply for H1 transfer. But, since your original petition is not yet approved, I m not sure about the process of H1 transfer. Link to comment

JoeF Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hey Chakri, I am in the same boat.. i don't know what to do as the client want to start immediately.. It is not possible. Period. You have to wait for the approval. There is no way around that. Link to comment
