朋友在申请新工作,已经过关斩将到最后一步了,对方要求一定要交最后两年的工资证明。问题是朋友曾在一家公司以H1工作几年,后因为公司变动,转为consultant, 从而失去H1, 转为H4,但几个月后,公司接到project,要求朋友回去,由于project急于开始,朋友在公司给办H1的过程中开始上班(就是说在H1 pending 时工作), 但H1申请还没拿到,project就结束了,H1的申请也就撤销了。 不过,这段工作的合同是与公司的中国分公司签的,工资也是以人民币发到国内银行账户的。
请问在申请新公司时,上述情况有无不合法之处。朋友为难的是,和新公司讲了,
-Why does he need to tell the new employer? It is irrelevant to the new job or new H1 status. As long as the old employer did not report the income to IRS (not W2 form), he is safe. If the income was reported IRS, he had better go to China to get the H1 or H4 visa to come back to clear the record.
怕有不合法之处,不讲,又怕Gap会影响对工作的申请。求大家的建议。多谢多谢。
