If my H1B extension is denied, but my current H1B is still valid for a few more months, can I continue to work?

Answer

Generally speaking, an H1B extension or change of employer denial would have no impact on the validity of an existing H1B petition. So, ordinarily, a person in this situation may continue to work pursuant to the existing H1B petition until it expires. (31.Oct.2016)
