H1B question - Any help greatly appreciated

[charankasu]

I completed my masters in U.S and I am working for a company(say A) on OPT. But my H1 was sponsored by a different company(say B). Now my current employer i.e A is asking me to work for him until the end of october (so I will be receiving from pay stubs from his company) and join B in november. He is saying that I wont be facing any problem in future. Is this safe? If I do so will I face any problems during H1B stamping. I am planning to go for stamping in January.

If you filed for H1B as a COS and have an I-94 with an Oct 1 start date for the H1B, you MUST work for your H1B employer beginning on that date.

This must be the case or you would not be planning a Jan stamping.

I believe if you follow your OPT employer's advice, you will be out of status and will have problems in the future.

No, you cant do that unless you go out and come back.
