On June 1, 2006, I started working for a start-up company (Company A), who were paying a part of my salary in stocks. The accruing of stocks is scheduled end on June 1, 2007. I was working for this company on my OPT.
However, starting April 1, 2007, I am switching jobs to Company B on a H1-B visa. But Company A has been nice to let my stocks accrue till June 1, although I am leaving them prematurely.
My question is, "While I am working in Company B on a H1-B visa, can I still accrue stocks from Company A? I know that, under H1-B rule, you cannot get paid in cash, but what about stocks?"
