Hi-
I have been in the US in L1-A from Nov 2008. My first extension was applied in may 2011 and the period of stay was extended until may 2013. My second extension is approved until may 2015. I do have plans to study Executive MS full time in the US. I’m planning to join by fall of 2014. The question I have is:
1. Am I allowed to stay in US in F visa after course completion since I exceed the 7 year max out period in Nov 2015. I have only 2-3 months after course completion before maxing out on L1-A
2. Can I apply H1 once I graduate and still have a 6 year period to stay in US after completing my masters? Do I have to go out of the country for a year to reset my counter since I never left the country until L1 A maxed out.
3. In short is L1A->F1->H1 allowed? Is my transition from F1 to H1B possible without having to leave the country considering the fact that I’m in the US from Nov 2008.
Please help!
