Hi,
My case is, I am completing my MS part-time and joined work. My F-1 visa associated EAD expired, I was on my company sponsored H-1B, and now am laid off. My last pay-check is coming in a couple of weeks. I want to know my options. I am aware of the following two, on the first one of which I am already acting:
1> Get another job, where the employer will be willing to file for an H-1B transfer.
2> Change my status back to F-1, based on my incomplete MS.
On the 2nd option, I have my school's International Student Officer's nod, but I want to explore other means of legal extension of stay in the USA. Any suggestions please?
Thanks,
P
