H-1B transfer, vacation possible in between?

[go_pal]

My employment with company A is ending soon (60-day notice layoff).
Fortunately I have found another job. I'm getting my H1 transferred.

Is it possible to take a break of a week/10-days in between jobs?
I will not be on either payroll during those days....

What will my status during those days be?
Is it worth the risk?
I hear abt the 60-day grace period after ones employment ends... is that just a matter of interpretation or a law?

My old employer will take time since the termination date to inform the USCIS.
Is that something that will of help?

Its never a problem, if the vacation is out of the country. You can take vacation as long as you, no limit on the duration.

Within US, it is a different story.

Thanks for the reply.
Whats the "story" if the vacation is within US?

Does the fact that there is a H1B transfer petition pending give me anything concrete to stay in US?
or if the H-1B transfer petition gets approved before I end my current employment (say thru premium processing) puts me in a safer state?

One thing for sure is future employer said he can request my H1 transfer to be active only from the date I really begin reporting to work there.... hence the need to inform him right now about my start date there....
