Hi -
I am in a very unique situation. My employer has being try to file labor for the last 2 years and finally decided filing as Finance major would be risky & decided to go with engineering specialization.
Two major issues
- I have 5 months remaining for 365 day deadline (H1B with time captured outside US would be Dec '11)
- My employer is asking me to go on F1 staus to freeze the time on H1.
Two questions:
Is 5 months enough time for me to find a new employer & ask them to file for labor?
Is it legal for me to work on F1?
Any help would be appreciated - very crucial juncture in my career.
Thanks - Ram
