URGENT!! Pls help: university, industry h1b parallel approval and confusion!!

Hi!
I am currently working in an University as a postdoc. My university filed for h1b and the university h1b starts from july 1st.

In the mean time, i have an offer from a private company which also got the h1b approved (within the cap!) this year. The company h1b starts october 1st, but they have agreed to wait till dec end for me to start working with them.

My question: since i will be in the university h1 from July, can i go to india in october, get the visa stamp from the company and come back with the company h1b stamped to start working in dec?

Alternately, is it possible to go to india in august and come back with the university h1b stamp. Then after coming back, resign my university Job and start working for the private company directly?

Please kindly advice

Thanks

Incase if you have to leave India, Its advised to produce your university approved I797 and get visa stamped. bcoz, you can get any supporting document since you were already working there.

The challenge you face if you go with new companies I797 is when you were asked for current payslips, they indicate University name and does not sound well !!

Thank You very much for the reply !!

IN that case, If I go to my home country and produce the University approved I-797. After I get my visa stamped and come back to USA on the University H1B, can I then start working for the Private firm (if I resign from the university immediately after return)?? Will I have to file any more papers / forms to start working for the private company in this case?

Your New Company will take care of paper work. Dont worry and can work for new company if that new I797 is approved/valid by that date
