  • L1 to H1 joining/transition

    My H1b was applied and approved as a Change of Status From 1st Oct

    Now I want to leave my current employer (L1) on 28th Sep and take a week off. i.e. (29th Sep – 7th Oct)

    Join the new employer (H1b) on 8th Oct.

    Also what will be my status for 29th & 30th Sep?

    Is it a major concern/legal issue when I go for

    1. Visa stamping in future.
    2. GC processing

    Scenario -

    Last date of employment on L1 with current employer – 28th Sep.
    One week off. i.e. (29th Sep – 7th Oct)
    Start date of employment on H1 with new employer - 8th Oct.

    Thanks,
    Artist

    29th Sept/30th Sept being Weekend should not be a problem. 1st Oct to 5th Oct is a working week and since you are not working nor getting paid for this week you are technically out of status from 1-5th Oct. Whether this will be a problem or not cannot be concretely said and will depend upon the officer who is looking at your future visa applications/GC stages. They may ignore it, may not. This is my opinion not legal advice.
