Hello,
I got a job in this March and my employer applied a H1B visa for me which got approved. At the same time I used to dream about a university and studying there, and I just got an admit after my H1 application is complete. Now I want to convert from H1B [I would have to tell my employer to withdraw my H1B visa in Oct 2015] (I'm currently on a H4 Visa) to F1 visa and complete my study.
Now, if I apply for the H1B process after 2 years, do I have to still go through the lottery? Or since I have my WAC receipt, is it still valid?, can I just reinstate my withdrawn H1B visa without going through the lottery after 2 years?. If I do so will I get 6 years for it?
Please help, I'm in two minds whether to pursue my dream of getting higher education, or two take up this job just because my H1 got picked.
