5 Days Gap Between Two Employment (H1b) and Dropbox Stamping

[asingha]

Hi,

 

Here is my case:

 

- I was working with Employer A, Visa and Petition valid till October 1, 2014

- I found a new Employer B and they submitted a transfer petition Received Date June 18, 2014 (Notice date June 20, 2014)

- I resigned from Employer A, my last date was July 11, 2014 (Friday)

- I joined Employer B, on July 21, 2014 Monday (there was a gap of 5 working days between A end date and B start date, 14 July to 18 July, other days being weekends)

- H1 petition with the Employer B approved on August 27, 2014 (Valid for August 27, 2014 to June 15, 2017)

 

 

My questions -

 

1. There was a gap of 5 working days between employer A end date and employer B start date. Would this create a legal problem in future? If yes, what should I do to rectify it?

 

2. I am planning to go to India in August first week 2015. Since my Visa from employer A was valid till October 1, 2014 which is less than 12 months, the travel website says I am eligible for Dropbox facility and I don't have to go for interview. I fulfill all other criteria like stamping after 2008, same visa category and last stamping done in India. The only confusion is Change in Petitioner. Am I still be eligible for Drop box if I have changed employer fulfilling all other conditions?

 

Thanks for your time and response in advance.
