  • F1 to H1B before Graduation

    Hi All,

    I earned a Master's degree at United States and I'm currently on PhD. For some reason I wanna quit this degree study,get a job and hopefully transfer from F1 to H1B next year (2017). I've read a bunch of threads and learned that it's possible to do so if I get a job and the employer file the petition timely. But I'm not sure if I'm eligible for Cap-Gap so that I can start working as soon as the petition is approved (that would be way prior to Oct. 1st). I of course do not have an OPT right now but I do have CPT authorization.

    So my question is ideally, if I got a job and got H1B petition approved, can I start work upon approval? Am I eligible for the Cap_Gap that is usually given to students in OPT? Or I have to leave the country, get a visa stamp and wait until Oct. 1st to re-enter?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Xuan
