    Default H1B Transfer And H1B Extension At Same Time

    Hi,

    I saw a previous reply on this topic from LawResearcherMissy and it was helpful. But here is my case which is slightly unique.

    My Current H1b expires on April 18,2008.(first 3 yrs)
    My current employer (Company A) filed for H1B extension on DEC 18,2007
    My prospective employer (Company B) filed H1B extension and transfer on Jan 20, 2008.

    Now I have received approval for H1B transfer for Company B, whereas my extension case is still pending with USCIS.

    For personal reason I do not wish to start working with Company B till May 08. Hence my question is following
    1) What are the chances that my extension with Company A gets approved ? (Considering my H1B transfer filed later was approved already)
    2) If I receive approval for H1B extension , can work for Company A till May and start working for Company B afterwards?
    3) What if I dont receive approval till April 18 and I still continue with Company A till May and start working for Company B in June. Does that make me out of status?

    Thanks

    Bhun

    I would expect that your extension will be approved, but I am unable to predict the future.

    As long as your work authorization remains in effect for Company A, you should be able to switch back to them at any time (as long as your H1B remains valid.)

    If you get an extension for your H1B, it's extended. It's just one visa.
