F1 Renewal & H1 Filing

[vinnycheers]

Hi,

I would really appreciate if any one can guide me here.

I am currently on F1 that is good till May 22, 2007. I found a employer who is willing to file an H1b on April 1st 2007.

Here is the problem:

I want to file for an F1 extension right now (as the H1B will only be good from October 1, 2007). In case I do not get it by April 2007, is it OK to have two applications i.e., H1B & F1 extension pending at the same time.

Thanks in advance
Vinny

If you're graduating in May, why don't you just apply for OPT? That way you have that from the date they issue it till October 1, 2007 when the H1 becomes in effect.
