MyImmigrationQuestion Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, I have been working for Company A under STEM Extension. Company A applied for my H1B, but I got an RFE. I joined a Company B under STEM Extension status while my H1B status was still pending. Then I got my H1B approved, so I asked Company B to transfer the H1B immediately. Company B applied for a "Change in Status" and got my H1B approved. The process took close to 3 months. Was I "out of status" at any point in these 3 months? Link to comment

ASharma75 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 HI, I have a question. I work in Company A and I got an offer from other Company B. Company B filed H1B change of employer petition with USCIS. Now the h1b visa transfer has been approved with validity dates as - 5/26/2014 to 5/16/2017 and employer as Company B on my i-797 document . My question is - can I resign from my current job (Company A) on 5/23/2014 and join the new employer (Company B) on 6/2/2014 ? It means that I will be without payrolls for 1 week (i.e 5/26/2014 to 5/30/2014). But during this duration my I-797 will show that I have a valid H1B status, because the new visa (with employer as Company B) has the start date as 5/26. Thank you, ASharma75 Link to comment
