What is the name of your state? WI
Hello,
I received an offer from a company that will be transfering my current H1B visa with my current employer. I have three questions regarding the transfer:
1. I know that I can start working for the new company when USCIS receives the transfer application. if I stop working for my current company lets say on September 1st and do not start working for the new company until September 15th, will i be out of status for the 14 days?
2. My new job will require me to travel to Canada. My visa will expire in February 8, 2008. Can I travel with my old visa still even if I work for a different company if I have the transfer request receipt with me or do I need to wait for the transfer to be fully approved before I can do that?
3. Can the new company apply for an extension of my current H1B visa at the time of the application for the visa transfer?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
