Hi folks,
I came to US on a student visa and started working for company x first on opt and then my h1b started on October 2012. They laid off 1500 employees all over the world and unfortunately am one of those. I wanted to know regarding my options. Got laid off on November 13, 2012 and seems my h1b petitioner hasn't notified uscis yet to revoke my h1b. So do I have any time to change my status to f1? Would my change of status petition approve? I already got i20s from two univs? I know the pay stubs come into play for a transfer so I do have paystubs until jan 25, 2013 as I received a 2 month severance package. Would me getting a job and applying for a h1b transfer work? I also have an EAD (opt) card valid until jan 31, 2013 could that be of any help?
