I am a postdoc and got an offer of a faculty position. My postdoc funding
will be ended in June but my faculty job starts in August. I know I should
do the H1B transfer, but do I need to go back China in June and re-enter US
in August?
Your help is greatly appreciated. |

So there will be no "out of status" issue for my case even I will not work
either as a postdoc or a faculty from June to August? (not employed/paid by
either but still legally staying in US?)

my postdoc to keep my status, really I should do that? Any suggestions?
Thanks!!! |

Ifyou have quesitons, talk to local USCIS officer through Infopass, see
USCIS website.

previous H1B ends. If so, you will still be in status, even though you are not employed. |
