Got an offer from BOA and my H1B status will be effective from this October. The agreed starting date to work is late October but now it's changed to September. How can I extend the starting date?
What has changed? Is it start date or H1B stays change?
The start date. H1B will be effective in October. And the start date now has been changed from October to September.
It's illegal to work in September for you. First day they will send you back home as you won't have work auth
You cannot have a pay check before 1st October. If they are not willing to change the joining date, I would recommend, you ask them start paying you from a later. You will work for free for the month of September
Thank you! :D
That would probably be illegal... you can't work, even for free, if you don't have a valid work permit.
You can only use H1B as of october 1st if you are employed by BOA on that date, that must be why your start date is pulled back. From september to october 1st, you need a work authorization, for example, OPT. Check with your recruiter and HR. I would say, don't burn your H1B and start in september, but if you need time, push the start date to as later as possible, but in september.
Thank you! :D
I don't think you have anything to worry about. If anyone has to worry it is BoA. Don't they have an immigration lawyer who knows this?
What is BOA?
I think it's Bank Of America
