Gurus,

Questions:

1) I am already on H1B but am switching companies and job roles. As I
understand, the new company will have to file a new H1B for me, but I
will be exempt from the quota. How long is H1B visa transfer taking
thesedays?

2)H1B through my current company is valid until 1/2010. My new job
starts on 7/30/2007. Can I start my new job on 7/30/2007 but quit my
current job on 7/31/2007 (since that is the day i need to be on payroll
to get my bonus)?
Essentially, can I be working for two companies at the same time?

thanks

1) It takes 3-5 months, but one can join once get H1 transfer filing
receipt from USCIS . if file premium processing one can get H1
approval in 20-25 days

2) you can start on 7/30/2007.
