Currently, I am pursuing MBA on F1 Visa, and before that, I was on an H1B visa, and I have 30 months remaining off my initial six years of H1B. I graduate in Jun 2023, and I do not have any OPT remaining since I have already used up OPT from my previous Master's degree.
I understand that I will have two months after I graduate in June '23 to find a sponsoring employer and apply for a change in Status to H1B.
Questions: If I am not able to secure a job with sponsoring employer within that time frame
I understand that I will have two months after I graduate in June '23 to find a sponsoring employer and apply for a change in Status to H1B.
Questions: If I am not able to secure a job with sponsoring employer within that time frame
- Can I enroll in another Master's program just to remain in legal F1 status and continue looking for an employer?
- Suppose I find a sponsoring employer two months after I start the new program. Can I leave that program midway and apply for a change in status?
- What are the consequences, if any, of leaving a Master's program midway to join a company on H1B and apply for a change of status from F1 to H1B?
