I came to US on a visitor visa and was offered a job with a Company here in CA. Before the I94 expired the Company filed for my H1 B visa with the INS..
The submission of the Docs to the INS was on the last date of the Validity of the I94. I got the receipt from the INS with the received date same as the expiery date of my I94.....ie if the expiery date on the I94 is 10 Oct then the received date on the INS letter Notice of Action is also 10 Oct.
Now i am awaiting my H1 visa....
I want to know if I was ever in the whole time "OUT OF STATUS" and currently also Out of status till I get my H1 Approved.
2) Can I work for the Company after filing for the H1B or have to wait till the H1B is approved by the INS.
AWAITING Clarification s from Fiends out there.....
THANKS
