Employment gap H1B transfer

[meduvade]

Please respond to my 2 questions below based on my timeline.

 

4th  August:   New employer filed for H1B extension

6th  August:   USCIS received my case

14th August:  Last day of work with previous employer (I was laid off)

14th August:  Got receipt notice for H1B extension from USCIS

31st August:  Start date with new employer

 

IF the new petition gets approved - 

1. will being out of status from 15th - 30th August cause an issue during Visa Stamping or future Green Card application?
2. will the 'out of status' get retroactively fixed?

Thanks.

1. Since a timely H1B petition was filed before your last day of lay off you are fine.

2. Refer 1.
