sparkyphantom Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hello all, After reading some posts and experiences on Murthy forums I have got a general idea of my situation. However It would be great if some of you can throw some light on my issue. Currently I am a valid H1B Visa for 2 more years. I am with Company A and they laid me off.My last day is March 30, 2013(last day on pay roll). They said that they will revoke my LCA or notify USCIS on April 18. I received an offer from Company B today March 28,2013. I guess company B would take time since they have to go through back ground check, drug test, LCA approval and then H1B filing. Here are my queries:- 1- Since I am out of status on March 30, and if Company B is able to file H1B (packet reaching USCIS) before Company A informs USCIS (April 18), what chance is that I'll be safe.I understand that its upto the officer at USCIS. 2- What if H1b filing reaches USCIS after April 18 (date of company A revoking my previous LCA), in this case my current pay stubs will not be there in the filing. I will be missing 1 pay stub i.e. April1-April 15 pay stub 3- Is it a fact that since a H1B is filed after being out of status, once should wait for approval and not just the receipt to start working 4- If USCIS approves late filing, and gives it for consular processing (India) for an extension. Is there a risk It would be great if you guys can help me out with this situation as I am very scared and dont know how to talk with HR guys and explain them my situation. Thank you everyone.

sumgee Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi, As per my knowledge u don't have to worry about it. answers inline 1- If in case u apply with atleast 2 paystubs before that day, its completely fine. 2- No issues, u r still safe. start sending before 15th if u have issue of pay stubs. 3- U can start working with new employer..Only issue if it gets rejected with new employer.. u shld go with same process of finding other again.. But make sure new employer is not consulting. 4- No.. Link to comment
