I have a Master's in Math Stat & Computer(combination of all 3) from the USA and right now working in Actuarial field under H1B visa.My visa is expring on Jan 01 2009 and my company told me last month that they are not going to renew my H1b.I am attending some interviews in my Actuarial field and I am not sure whether I'll get my H1b transfered before my current H1 expires.

I also got a part time lecturer job in Math in a University for one semester and the University has sent paper work for wage determination and I understand that university comes under exempt H1 category.

My questions are

1 To keep my Actuarial job which comes under non-exempt H1 category and to avoid Quota issues, can I switch to a IT job in a Consultant Company?Then after I get an Actuarial job, can I transfer my H1 from IT consulatant to Actuarial Employer?

2 Can I have both exempt H1 and non exempt H1 at the same time.

3 If I end up with only part time lecturer job, is there any restriction on salary and number of hrs.Now I got 30 hours per week job position from the University.
4 Is there any other solution for me to stay in my Actuarial job?

Thanks
 
1) Yes but you don't have to. You will not be subject to the quota for the next 3 years either way (even for a new H1 petition).

2) Yes.

3) No.

4) Find a job and transfer. If necessary leave the US and re-enter with a new H1 stamp.
 
I didn't get answer for Question 1.Can you please explain it.

After I started working as a Part time lecturer,(after my first H1b expired) if I get ACtuarial job which comes under non exempt category, can I transfer my H1b to the new Ajob?

Thanks
