Hi all

Current Visa Status: F1 with STEM OPT (Nov 2011 expiration)

Current Job status: Working on a contract basis with Company A (E-verify company) but won't process my H1B petition.

Anticipated future: Getting an offer soon from the company B (not E-verify, but willing to sponser H1B).

So if my application (filed for premium processing on Apr 1 2011) gets accepted on Apr 15 2011, When can I start working ?

If the beginning date of working under H1B is Oct 1 2011, then Can I still join this company earlier by the provisions on cap-gap extension. Please remember that I am on the STEM extension and this company is not a party of E-verify program.

Also, if the contract with my current employer ends on June 2011, Do I have to leave US at any point. ( I have had 9 days in the OPT period without employment)

Thanks

You can join at any time and work up to the expiration date of LCA. When to join is entirely between you and your new employer.
 
Before you head for the nearest mall to purchase your very own pair of ugg Australia boots , stop

for a moment and ask yourself, I seen these boots before??If you are college-aged or younger, you

have seen these boots everywhere including on the Internet, in store catalogues, and in stores

themselves.
