Discontinue second MS F1-H1

[mechos]

Hi, My case is a little off the norm.
I finished my first Masters started my second and been half way through. Now I am on my CPT, again halfway through working in GE. GE is ready to give me a job but then I have a couple of problems.
Since I am in the middle of my masters and in CPT I dont know how I can transition to H1 and also I am hoping to continue doing my CPT until next October (17 months of CPT!!) by which I hope I can get my H1 visa.

Any thought?

Thanks Guys.

It is the same as moving to H-1B from F-1. To be eligible for change of status in the US, you just need to make sure that your F-1 is still valid atleast till the time you apply for H-1B. You might want to consider applying for H-1B around the first week of April so that you can start working on H-1B from October 2005.
