Hi there,
I am in a pretty unique situation. I am presently working with a company in Virginia, USA on J1 Academic Training. My Academic Training is getting over on August 31st. I have got my H1-B done thru the same company effective 1st October. Now there is a period of one month between 31st August and 1st October where I go out of status. I have contacted couple of attorneys and they say that during that period of one month I would be perfectly legal to stay in this country, however I can not work since my academic Trainig gets over on 31st Aug. My first question is - is this informaion right ? If yes my second question is - is there possibly any work around to continue working with the same company for that period of one month ?
The possibility of getting my H1-B transferred over to the 20,000 quota is ruled out since i have my masters degree from Australia.
My last alternative would be to inform the company about these complexities and request them for one month vacation !
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out ! Thank you in advance
