Hi,
I am on H1B at MD based company. I am on my 6th year of H1 and have my labor certification application at BEC. I am thinking of going to school full-time starting next fall (2007).
By the time I go on F1, I will have no time left on H1B. After finishing the school and an year of Optional Practical Training, will I will have to leave the country. what would be a good option for me to study full time with out affecting my green card application?
1. Can I work part-time on my current H1B, so that my green card application does not change? That way I can still go to school part time.
2. If not, then can I get a new part-time H1B, sponsored by the same company. But then I am not sure, what this will do to my green card application?
Thanks much!
