Hi I have an EB1-EA self petition pending at TSC and I have to take a month off from work before I join my new work place and I am currently on H1B. My current employment will end on June 29th and the new job begins August 1st.
I have a couple of questions if any of the gurus can advise....
1. Its been 265 days since my rd so I obviously am past the 180 days but does the AC21 apply to self petitions also or just the ones through employer and LC? In other words do I need to file an AC21 to join new job?
2. Is it a problem that I will not be officially employed for one month before I transfer to the new job in August on my EAD? I will obviously lose my H1B status the day I stop working but do I need to use my EAD asap or can I wait a month before going on that.
Ginnu, Real canadian....anyone please reply its urgent.
