I got H-1b approved. It gonna start from Oct 1 2012. My Stem extension is going to end on July 3rd 2012.

1) What happens if my employer who applied for my H-1B revokes it, or stops running pay stubs during Cap gap.

2) Is there any possibility to transfer my H-1b during cap gap before my employer terminates my job.

3) If my employer terminates my job or stops running payrolls during capgap, Am I eligible for 120 days of unemployment grace period as I had during STEM.

Thanks

Read F student FAQ on ICE website. IMO cap-gap is part of OPT (F1 status) and not H1. So if H1 petition is withdrawn and if you are terminated, you will have 60 day grace period to stay in teh US and possible change status to H1. You can also consult an attorney.
