F1-H1 Timing--Please Advice

[Gita20023]

Hi Rajiv

Can you pl. advice me : I am on F1 visa and have applied for PT. I am expecting the EAD card anytime this month(April). I want to apply for my H1 (Premium Processing) for this year's quota as soon as possible.

I will be graduating this May. I have a Masters in Computer Science but Bachelors is in Food Technology.

Please advice on :

1.--Should I apply for my H1 right away with my bachelors degree.
2.--Should I wait till I get my MS degree certificate and then apply?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Gita

Gita, you can get an H-1 using your Bachelors only if you will be working in the field of Food tech.
