My H1B was approved 2 months ago and I desperately want to make a switch to a new firm. Current firm has been making me miserable for quite some time. When is the earliest date I can quit?

Once you have the approved i797 in hand, I'd think

I'm not too sure, but considering that your h1b technically isn't valid till Oct 1, you might have to wait till then

If it is your first time h1b, better to wait for 3 months/ 3 paystubs.

Sounds good, thank you!

Hello,
I’m a MRI technologist with bachelors in radiologic science. My goal is to become epic analyst. I do have a proficiency in Radiant. However, I am not having much luck with any applications. Almost all the postings require actual certification or build experience. I am thinking that I may have to go back to school. My options are either go for masters or go for another bachelors in IT/computer science. What could be my other options? Thank you.
