Academic H1B to Corporate H1B Transfer

[mirlosmad]

Hi Murthy Forum,

I had a question to ask here....I am currently employed by a University in a Academin H1B. I am interested to transfer to Corporate H1B, and do not know the process.

Questions:

- Is Academic H1B to Corporate H1b transfer, the same as Corporate H1B Transfer

- If I apply for Corporate H1b in April 2013, would it start in October 1st 2013 ? What would be my status between my Corporate H1b Approval and Oct 1st 2012 ? Can I continue working for academic H1B till October 2013.

Please help with these queries...

Thanks...

If you have not been counted for the quota yet, the new employer can only file for an H1 from April 1 on, for a start date of Oct. 1.

Until the start date of the new H1, you would have to continue working for your current employer.
