F1 to H1B (Immigration Law)

Sat, 11 Sep 2004 12:19:00 GMT

What is the name of your state?Nebraska
Hi,
I am in a confused situation and need some legal advice.
I am in F1 status and has my OPT until Aug 05.
I got a job and i am filing my H1B documents.
But the program i was in suspended me on the context that i didnot register for classes as fulltime.
Will this affect my status of OPT and will it have any adverse effect on my H1B approval?
Can i transfer my major or college now and maintain a full time status?
Will the transfer to full time student again will affect my job and H1 processing?
Any suggestions or help required asap.

  • If you were already in OPT, it sounds like you should have already completed your studies so how did you get suspended status? And if you have already filed for the H-1b then why do you need to go back to fulltime study if your hope is to get that petition approved and start working for the petitioning employer?
