Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help answer a few questions re: my status. I am on E-3 with my current company, expiring April 2014. I was planning to renew my E-3 every two years, for a while. However, my company asked if I would switch to H1-B and I agreed. My H1-B application has been approved and I received a certificate to apply for H1-B at a consulate outside the US after Oct 1, 2013. My company's legal representative said that my visa status will change automatically to H1-B on Oct 1, but that if I ever leave the country, I will need to apply for a H1-B stamp on my passport in order to come back into the US.
I am currently interviewing with another company, and if I get a job offer with them, I plan to apply for an E-3 with the new company. Given that I am in the middle of this change from E-3 to H1-B with my current company, will it be an issue if I all of the sudden switch and apply for an E-3 with the new company?
I hope that my current E-3 (or pending H1-B?) will be cancelled and then I just apply for a new E-3 with no problem. Is this correct by any chance?
Thank you!
