Hi
I recently changed my status from h1b to f1. My f1 notice (i797) arrived in the mail on May 1, thursday. I was then working in my company on h1b. The notice said that my cos effective date was April 28, Monday. My employment was terminated ASAP on May 2, Fri. So I now have an overlap of 5 days during which I was working but my f1 was approved and the notice was in the mail. Currently, I have started my studies on f1. My company's legal counsel told me that this overlap is OK since it's a short period but I wanted to ask experts if there is anything I can do about it ? Would appreciate your advice.
ps: In my application for cos, I had requested that my COS be effective from MAy 12 so that I could resign on May 9 and smoothly transition over. For some reason, uscis overlooked that request.
Thanks
