F1 to H1B (Immigration Law)

Sun, 22 Aug 2004 18:40:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? LA
Hello everybody,
I went to my home country and I returned to US on 11th Aug'04. Someone told me that I need to wait for 60 days ( form the date of reentry) to apply for conversion visa status from F1 to H1B. I request you guys to tell me whether it is right or wrong?
Do I have chance to get H1B visa if I apply for conversion in the second week of October'04?
I am really in need of your help, please guide me.
Thanks
Raj

  • No, there is no need to wait for any length of time to change status to H-1B, provided you have a valid job offer from an employer willing to sponsor you for the H-1b. As I posted in another post, the H-1B cap is fast approaching, so I believe that if you wait until the start of October to file for the H-1b, the cap may be reached by that time.
    Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance with this matter.
