Hi,
The company I am currently working for is being closed down on 8/31/08. I hold a H1B visa for this company which is valid till 10/1/08. I will be paid a severance amount after the closure. If I receive the severance amount as paychecks over 3 months, is my visa status valid till 10/1(assuming that the company does not report to CIS)?
If I transfer my H1 temporarily to Company 2 which does not pay me, and I still get pay from Company 1, is my visa status still good? That is, is there a limitation on the number of days that I can be on H1 with a company without getting paid?
Is an H1-B transfer possible to company 3, with a gap of no paychecks for 2 months or more from company 2?
Thanks.
