My Case -
1) Bachelor Graduation - May 2006,
2) Applied for H1-B 2007 - Application was not picked in Lottery,
3) OPT Period ended - July 14th 2007,
4) Back to F-1 Status (I-20) through Kaplan (No OPT privilege in Kaplan courses),
5) Current I-20 EXPIRED 04/06/2008,
6) BUT had Filed H1-B AGAIN on 04/01/2008,
7) CURRENTLY IN A 60 DAYS GRACE PERIOD.
Based on My Case above and the New F1 to H1b Gap Relief regulation,
will my duration of stay be automatically extended till Oct 1st 2008, provided my H1B application is selected in the lottery.
Or
the Cap Gap relief is only applicable to F-1 candidate currently in OPT.
thanks,
LegMat.
