What is the name of your state? IL
Hi
I have been working for a cmpny A since Aug2004. My status durng this time was OPT which expired on Jan 31. The cmpny sponsored my H1b visa and I recvd. it on Jan 26.
I want to switch to cmpny B - if comp. B files my H1b transfer and I receive the receipt on Feb 14 (for exmpl) do I still need to work for cmpny A till the end of the month & get a pay stub? Would it be too risky to start on Feb 20 (for exmpl) and not have a pay stub for Feb.
The visa on my passport is still F1 - do I need to change it to H1b before I can transfer? I did receive a new I94 with my H1b approval which is valid till 2007.
I realise that it is wise to wait till the end of the month - but for various reasons,I have to start ASAP (I was supposed to start in Dec 04 actually).
Thanks for your time!
