Hi,
I have already filed for H1B through the FY2006 quota with a start date for OCtober 1, 2005. Today INS published that they would start accpeting the H-1B petitions under the 20,000 Additional H1B Filings Effective from May 12, 2005. I have a masters degree and I can have a conversion of my filing to this 20K quota.
But I have an interview for the Green card coming up by the end of this May. If for some reason, the green card application is rejected and if I get my H-1 apporved under this new 20K quota by premium processing before green card rejection, can I continue to stay in USA without getting a stamp of H1 by going to home country ?
If my green card is rejected and the H1 also does not come through, ( worst scenario) within how many days should I leave the country ?
Pls write to me and any help is appreciated.
