I just got a new job at an MNC in their HR dept. We have hired 3 new people last week, One Taiwanese, One German, One Indian with a Masters on an OPT. OPT expiring in Mid June 2008 and H1B starting in Oct 1 2008.
All three got their H1B approved (two transfers, one New H1B for the Indian student).
The Indian student has come to me with these questions, I have directed her to the company lawyer...but the new rules has the lawyer confused too
Her two questions are as following
1) If she applies for automatic OPT extension WITH change of Status within the next 30 days. Can/will she be able to travel to India and go to US consulate to get H1B visa stamp?
2) When does the change of Status become effective?? Is it immediately, or Is it in Mid June when OPT expires, or Is it on October 1st 2008?
Thanks for taking the time out to read and reply
Appreciate it much!!
