if my h1b effective date is 10/1, when is the soonest time I can quit? work place harassment is getting more severe. I posted on blind few months ago and listened to the advice that I need to find a new job—
I have an offer.

currently I’m waiting for my h1b to become effective, but everyday is excruciating, as harassment is still present, and I want to quit as soon as possible.

Also, do I have to initiate an h1b transfer before I quit? or after I quit will be ok? I’m on stem opt. I’m planning to quit on October 1st. Also, will notifying them before 10/1 make them rescind my h1b application? this is possible,, but highly unethical so I doubt a company would do that

  • Wait until 2 paychecks before quitting. That way H1B transfer wont be subject to RFE

    Initiate the transfer process before giving notice and make sure transfer receipt is in hand, plan last day to be end of Oct. Don’t notify current company until atleast mid of Oct.very risky to inform before and quit Oct’1. Hang in there , it’s only 5 more weeks to go.

    It’s very risky to quit on oct 1. Wait atleast for a month after h1 is effective (oct 1) and simultaneously you will need to initiate h1 transfer and get approved before moving - else you will be out of status.
