Hi all
Thanks in advance for your responses.
I am a PhD student graduating in May and I also hold a Masters degree from a US university. I have been offered a job and will start the job right after graduation.
As far as I know, I need to apply for OPT and then my employer can apply for H1-B visa on April 1, 2016. My question is whether my employer can apply for H1-B visa this April (2015) while I'm on F-1 visa considering that my start date would be some time around mid May? And if so, should I still apply for OPT?
Thanks again,
Mike
