I was on a F1-OPT visa, changed to a B-2 visa.
Currently waiting for my H1-B application (filed regular processing)
Application was filed June 28, and they are only doing May 17, 2004 now.

My B-2 expires October 8th...

Can one wait for the H1-B after the B-2 expires?
Or do I have to file for a B-2 extension?

OR, should I file for premium processing of the H1-B?

Also, is there a big difference in RFE for regular v. premium at the Texas center?


Thanks for the help!
 
Opt

When did your OPT expire.
The new law provides, you can wait for H1 approval for FY 2005, even your OPT expires.
But you changed to B2, Premium is best , just 3 days you will get results (approval or RFE).

If your qualifications and employer is OK, you need not worry about any RFE
 
OPT expired July 8th...

Are you sure about waiting for the H1-B after the OPT expires? I heard that was the old rule, but that the BCIS did not issue that authority for this year. (therefore, a lawyer said I needed the B visa to fill the gap until the H1-B came)
