Hi Rajiv,
Greetings!
My self Harish from India.
I’ve started processing for F1 for Aug 2023 intake and also got I20 and looking for f1 visa interview slots.
In 2023 h1 lottery my petition got selected .
Im in a confusion state through which i need to proceed either H1 or F1
Im thinking like currently keeping f1 process on hold for aug intake and wait until h1 approved. If h1 got denied then i will differ aug intake i20 to December .
I got another suggestion as proceed with f1 visa and step in usa. If h1 hot approved you can apply for change of status and convert from f1 to H1 .
In this suggestion i have few querries.
1. Does above plan works?
2. How much time it can take for change of status?
3. Do i need to travel india for h1 stamping after change of status.
Kindly help me in choosing best route to enter USA .
Thanks in advance .
