Hi,

Can u pls help me in my case. I am working in US for employer on L1. I am planning to convert to H1 and move out from the current employer. If I apply for H1 in 65,000 quota, can I start working for new employer before Oct 1st?
and if I apply H1 in 20,000 quota, what will be the start date? My I 94 is valid till Aug'06.

Second - If I get H1, with effective date of Oct 1st, do I need to resign immediately with my current employer who processed my L1? or can I continue working on L1 till my new job gets confirmed?

Pls suggest -

Thanks

Second - If I get H1, with effective date of Oct 1st, do I need to resign immediately with my current employer who processed my L1? or can I continue working on L1 till my new job gets confirmed? Yes, if your approved h1 start date is 1 Oct 2005
Pls suggest -

Thanks
