I am F1- Visa currently. I have applied for 6 month OPT which will start from September 1st 2004. Also I am currently working for a startup company ‘A’ which has sponsored my H1-B visa. I have received the approval notice for the H1-B visa starting from Oct 1st 2004. I have got another job offer from a company ‘B’ and I wanted to take the Job offer. The company ‘B’ has agreed to file for my H1-B visa under the current Quota.

Although the company ‘B’ is optimistic that I would get an H1-B approval under the current quota, I fear that the H1-b quota will get exhausted even before my case is considered.

Question: Although I have an H1-B approval notice for company ‘A’, when quit the company ‘A’ on 31st August will I be on my original F1 visa or my F1 visa has become void after the H1-b approval notice.
 
No more F!

You need not worry about H1 quota.

You have already H1 with you. Just transfer to company B from A , which will not come under quota at all.

Your F1 status is not at all valid once your first H1 got approved.
