Mr. Khanna,

My F-1 status ends June 30.
I have applied for OPT which would start on July 1.
I havent received my EAD card yet.
Can I apply for H1B for FY 2005 which would start Oct 1?
Will there be an isssue of status maintenance since I am not applying for H1B with my EAD card in hand?

Thanks in advance
Bharath
