    Exempt H1B to Std/Business H1B work - gray area
    Hello,

    I am currently working full time in a University on a H1B visa.Although it is a H1B visa , it is slightly different than a standard/business H1B.It is exempt.This H1B cannot be transferred to a business/non-exempt H1B.

    I think my only chance of changing to a private company would be to find a job by july-august and hope that the quota for H1B is still not finished,apply for a new H1B and start from Oct 1st.

    My question is , if I do manage to get a job in Apr-May and the company decides to file my H1B , can I start before Oct 1st on my previous exempt H1B?(I read somewhere about portability,AC 21,but very confusing).

    Any help is appreciated.
