F1 to H1b - query (Immigration Law)

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 21:00:00 GMT

I am currently doing my MS in CS at a US univ. I had been an intern
witha company here in the US while doing my MS, and now the company
wants to hire me full time before I finish off (in Dec). Can I convert
directly from F1 to H1b. How easy/diff is it an dhow much time does
it take (premium v/s normal processing - i stay in TX)

Also, my undergrad degree in India was in Mechanical Engineering and I
have been interning with this company for 1 year.

Thanks a lot.
