Hello everyone,
I graduated in end of June 2006 and my OPT arrived on 8/21/2006. My OPT is Valid till 8/14/2007. Here is the situation: according to H1 rules, my H1 can start in OCT 2007. So from Aug 15 to OCT 1st, if I stay in US, would it be legall? There is a gap of almost 2 months.
Also, I am not sure if the Grace Period of 60 day is being used while I was waiting for my OPT card. Again, I graduated June 2006 and OPT Card came in AUg 2006. So I guess I have already used my grace period?
I cannot find answer to this question. I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me out.
Thanks
Sonia
