H1b transfer gap

[GelakoduKri]

I lost my job on May 15th, and my new position is scheduled to start on August 1st, which creates a gap of more than 60 days.

How can I handle this situation to maintain or restore my H-1B status?

Both are full-time and employers or backdate or extend or do funky stuff.

Technically start date do not matter. The day ur transfer petition reaches USCIS count. If that gap is less than 60 days, should be fine.

 To be on a safe side with documentation, see if the company can do the offer letter with start date as day petition reaches uscis or mutually agreeable date. For e.g., if petition reaches uscis Jul 10, put it in offer letter as Jul 10 or mutually agreeable date.

As long as your petition is submitted, you should be fine. Explain situation to new employer.

This is a risky option. Also, going out of the country while petition is pending may lead to consular processing approval instead of extension of status.

ok, make sure the documentation submitted to uscis does not have that Aug 15 start date. Atleast mention ASAP or as agreed instead of fixed start date.
