What to do regarding a gap during an H1B change of employer?
I have been on H1B with company A. I have got another offer from company B, processed my H1B transfer through premium and is approved already. Last working day at my current company A is the 21st of this month and future company B has requested me to join on the 27th as that would be a fresh week start. Will this be be OK? Will this gap cause any problems?
