  • Changing job while in H1 Extn

    Hi,

    Please any one throw pointers.
    I am on my H1B 3 years over and It is expiring in few days.
    The extension has been filed by my current company "X" and the status is in initiated stage.
    Now i have an offer from "Y" company.
    CAn i join that company?Will there be any problems?

    Thanks

    2 cases:

    1. Current I-94 expired:

    If current I-94 has expired and current company has filed for extension before the expiration of the I-94, you could work for that company for 240 days. Company B applies for a transfer using company A's expired I-94, pending receipt.

    It is risky to use AC21 in such a case. It is rather good if one applies for a PP transfer and join the company only after the transfer is approved.

    2. Current I-94 still valid:

    Same as above. But in such a case, you are safe to start work for new company using AC21 upon filing of the petition.

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.
