Hi,

I was on H1 for a year and a half and then did change of status to F1. Now i got my OPT ( 4/1/07 to 3/31/08 ).

I would like to know when do i need to apply for my H1?
Does the H1 quota apply to me? Do i need to apply now for the OCT 07 quota?

Or can i apply when my OPT gets over i.e in Mar 08?

(Does the status of my previous H1 matter?)

Thanks for your reply in advance.

(Does the status of my previous H1 matter?) Previous H1 ref. needed to avoid your H1 cap
Thanks for your reply in advance.
