Hello Every One
I have some questions concerning my H1B processing.
I am currently on a H1B exempt status with a University and my new employer which is a commerical company has applied for my H1B conversion. Per the discussion on this portal, I would have to wait till Oct 1st 2004 to start my new job.
But the attorneys for the company tell me that I can work as soon as I receive a notice from the INS upon submission of my petition.
Is this advice appropriate? Can anyone anticipate what notice I may receive from the INS in this case? I do not want to risk jeopardizing my status in the country. I appreciate any advice I can get.
