Conrad30 change start date after DOS recommendation
Hey all, my Conrad 30 application was picked up by the state this year but I’m still waiting on DOS approval (close to 8 weeks now). My fellowship and J1 status end on 6/30 but my start date would be 8/1. I assume my lawyers will have my H1B petition start date as 8/1 as well. That’s more than a 30 day gap but less than 90 days. I’m a bit confused whether this would be okay or should I move my start date by a day or two so that the gap between J1 and H1B is less than 30 days.
I’ve read unclear guidelines online so if anyone has been through a similar situation or knows better than me, I’d appreciate their response. I’ve of course written to my lawyers already but they’re AWOL.
