回复：Academic H1b 三月一日终止，I-94 还有一年，请问：

（1）过了三月一号我还可以留在美国继续找工作吗？在网络上查了一下，有人说：if H1b expire, I-94 valid，那么将会是Out of Status;还有人说过了三月一日继续留在这里是illegal的。不知道到底是那种说法正确?
-After you lose your job, technically your H1 status is invallid and you are out of status. But you still are lawfully present and look for job until your H1 I-94 expires. The problem is that if you are out of status > 180 days, you can not file your I-485 in the future (your I-485 will be denied if you file it). So, you need to go out of U.S. to get a visa to come back if you find a job or want to change of your status.

（2）另外，如果我在三月一日之前找到工作然后做h1b transfer，会有一个GAP，这个GAP会影响我的h1b transfer吗？
-USCIS usually approve your H1 transfer if the gap is less than 3 months with the I-94. If the gap is > 3 months, USCIS usually approve your H1 transfer without I-94 and thus, you need to go outside US to get an H1 visa to come back to activate your h1 status.

（3）如果我是三月一日以后找到工作，比如说三月中旬或者是四月份，那时我的h1b是out of status，那样的话对我的h1b transfer的影响有多大？
-see above answer for Q2.
（4）在out of status的情况下（I-94 still valid)我最多能够在美国停留多长时间去找新的工作？
-see anwer for Q1.
