  • F1 To H1

    Hello,

    I am currently in F1 (OPT) and I am planning to go for my stamping in end of Aug/ Sept.
    I heard that once my passport is stamped, the F1 status will no longer be valid and I will not be allowed to enter US until Oct 1 from when my H1 starts.

    I would really appreciate if can help me out in this regard. Is this true ?
    I am yet to book my appt and I will do accordingly.
    thanks

    Yes, that is most likely true as the F1 will be canceled when the H1b is being stamped. You will be allowed 10 days before H1 kicks in.

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

        That should be fine. You can enter on H1b anytime after Sept 21st.
