[求助] H1B Questions!!!

I recently got an offer from a company and I will request them to apply for H1B on March 8th (when the 20,000 H1B quota for 2005 becomes available). I am currently working at a university with H1B.

My questions:

1. Can I leave my current university position but still legally stay in the once the company files H1B for me (no approval yet)?

2. Can I start my new position without my new H1B approval?

3. Is 14-day a guarantee to get H1B approved?

Thank you very very much for your kind help.

as long as the new company started filing your application, you are fine.

2. Can I start my new position without my new H1B approval?

NO.

3. Is 14-day a guarantee to get H1B approved?

Thank you very very much for your kind help.

H1B transfer between profit companies might not need the full approval of H1B to start work. I am not sure about transfer from school to company.

1. H1b at University doesn't use H1b quota, while the new job in company does. therefore, before your case is approved you can't leave the university, as in case u don't get the new H1b, you will be out of status.

2. Obviously no

3. Dunno. check gov website bah.

Now I can see... Thank you very much ah....

I just want to take a bit time off between the two jobs, but don't know how to maintain my valid status. I will consult an attorney as well.

See, I'd like to take 2 weeks off between the two jobs. So, I asked my current employer (university) to extend 2-wk H1B for me (my paid holiday leftovers, can't ask for more). At teh same time, I asked the company to apply for H1B with premium handeling, which is said to take 14 days. I thought in this way, I will keep my valid H1B status.
