Overlapping employment period on H1-B visa?

[freephoneid]

Hi,

My employer laid me of & my last date is 31-Aug-2011. I'll get the severance package on last day itself. I'm on H1-B visa & I live in CA, USA

I got an offer from another employer.

I want to know if I can join with this new employer from 29-Aug-2011?

Since I'm on H1-B visa, is the overlapping period of 2 days allowed? Will it create any issue for me in future or in green card process?

Thanks!

Generally, concurrent h1b petitions are allowed. For a detailed discussion relating to your particular situation, consult an experience immigration attorney.

Hi,

But I'll be getting paid for 2 days from both employers. Will that be an issue?

Also, if I start with new employer on 5th Sep 2011, then would I lose the status for a period between 1-Sep-11 to 4-Sep-11 as I'll not be employed by any of the employer assuming I left current employer on 31-Aug-11???

Murthy Gurus, I'll really appreciate if you can provide at least some insights!!

Thanks!
