Hello,
I was on F-1 (bachelor's degree) till Dec-31-04 and currently on OPT since Jan-01-05 (OPT expires on Dec-31-05) just completed my all course requirement for Bachelor's degree but will not receive official diploma from school until August. I am currently employed with a company who can file my H1B but their lawyer said i have to wait for actula diploma from school to apply for H1b. My school has provided letter that I have completed degree requirement for bachelor's degree and diploma will be available in August 05.
Do I really have to wait for diploma or can apply for H1B with the letter from school.
Please help. Thanks.
