Hi
I am on a h1 visa with i94 valid till July 03 2011. My old i 797 however is only valid till June 23. On April 23 I applied for h1 extension till July 3 under regular processing - it is under initial review currently. Now my new employer will be applying for an extension of my h1 till 2015.
1. Is it possible to apply for new extension before current extension is approved
2. Do I have to have the receipt notice in hand before I can start working for new employer? Or is having applied and made sure that application has reached by tracking the package sufficient?
3. How late can my new employer apply for the new extension? Is it enough to have sent the application before July 3 or should it reach USCIS before July 2003?
Thanks
