Hi,
Currently I am working for a University with a cap-exempt H1B. Now I want to go to Industry. There are VISAs left in the advanced degree category for which the start date will be Oct 1. However, it is possible that the University will not be interested to retain me for Sep. So, if the company files the H1B application sometimes before Sep 1, can I start to work for them (using portability) from Sep 1? Also do I need to use premier processing?
A related thing: I have a visa stamp valid till May 22. It has the name of the University on it (they did a securit clearance). If I do have to stay out of the U.S., can I come back with this VISA stamp and the new 797 form?
Regards,
