Hi,
I am a student currently on F1 visa.I will be defending my thesis in February but I will be a spring(May) graduate.
I was wondering if I get a letter from my department stating that I have finished my Master's degree requirements by March 1st i.e a provisional Masters degree (but I will get my diploma in May) and if I have a job offer by Feb, then can I apply in the Master's Quota for the H1 visa which I believe opens on April 1st? or will I be applying in the general quota??
I hope to apply in the Master's quota.Please let me know if this is possible.If not what are the other alternatives? and I was also wondering what is the latest status on H1 visa's? Has the quota increased?
Thank You
