Hi,
I would like to know answers for following questions. I am on OPT from December 2008 and get over in November 2008. I am working in a project since January 2008 which will get over in November 2008. Also i come under STEM OPT extension thing too?
Q1. My company is applying H1 this April 2009 is it a good thing to do so since i will be out of job from Novemeber 2008 and chance of getting job in this market is tough so should i apply for H1 this year or stay on my OPT and get an extension?
Q2. If I go on OPT extension do I have to show the payroll in the extension period too. What is the criteria for getting OPT extension and maintaining the extension?
Q3. If I applied for H1 and got it then can I transfer to F1 again to maintain status in US. If yes what is the procedure for it?
Q4. After apply for H1 by the company A this april 2009 and if I get a better job opportunity in company B in August 2009 then can I work in company B eventhough my H1 is applied with Company A?
Q5. After applying H1 when does my OPT status get changed to H1?
Please help I am in big confusion. I would like to thanks in advance.
