Hello,
I have a question regarding my F1 visa which is as follows:
I came to USA in March 1999 on H1B visa .
My Green Card labor was filed by my company in August 2001.
In 2005 my company filed for 7th year extension of H1B.
Also in 2006 they filed for 8th year extension of H1B.
In Aug 2006 I quit my job to pursue Full Time MBA from a US Institute and transferred my visa status to F1. I did not leave the country during this transfer time.
My question is: Can a company file for transfer of my visa from F1 to H1B after my graduation in May 2008 or I have to leave the country for 1 year before I can apply for H1B again, since I have already lived here for over 6 years.
Will appreciate your help in answering my question!
