My school said there are changes in prevailing wage system for H1B start at the begining of the year. As a result it takes longer time for school to adapt to new system. My current job is ending in a month. It will take 8 weeks (regular 2 weeks) to get my paper work done. Therefore, there is going to be a gap between employments, if I wait until new H1B paper filed.
I read your blogs and still wonder
1) If I use EAD while waiting for H1B. Once my H1B is approved, Am I automatically back to H1B status? or Do I need to reenter US to be back on H1B status?
2) My new job is in the same school but different department and different research field. Will it hurt my I484 (NIW) in case of RFE?
Thank you again for the help!
