Hi

I am about an year away from finishing 6 years on my H1B status(this includes the 6 months I have spent outside the US). I just applied for a H1 transfer (with time recapture) to change jobs, and expected to receive an approval with an expiration date of 12/2006, but USCIS has given me an approval till 11/2008. What should I do in this scenario? Is it okay for me to change jobs? Will I be fine as long as I make sure that I change status or leave the country before I hit 12/2006.

Thanks
