The Other Guy Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) If one is changing jobs, Is it legally allowed to take few days off between the 2 jobs. To be more specific, i work for employer A (i 94 valid until 2019 JAN), but 16th feb will be my last day of work and i plan on joining employer B on 26th feb (transfer petition already approved). So there is a one week gap between the last and first dates and i plan on using those days to relocate myself to the state where employer B is is located. Will be i out of status for these 7 days ? Or is it legally allowed to do so ? (This is a cross country move so i need at least few days off) Edited February 8, 2018 by The Other Guy Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 You have up to 60 days to report to work for the new employer with an approved H1. That's in 20CFR655.731. One reason for this is exactly your situation, moving across the country takes a while. Quote Link to comment
