I am currently working in this company in my OPT and it expires on July 2004. My "agency" is ready to apply for H1-2005 on April 2004. I know if I do premium processing I get it approve in about two weeks but I can only use my H-1 from October 2004.
Now my questions are
a) How can I work from July until October? Please advice me with different possibilities because the company wants me to work.
Ans:+++++Already answered
b) I am thinking to apply for new I-20 after my H-1 gets approve and get CPT from college (which is not sure of getting one) and work in CPT during that gap period? Is that possible, please advice?
Ans: +++++Check with your International Students' Office.
c) Would you advice me to apply for new I-20 first and then apply for H-1 on April 2004 or apply for new I-20 after my H-1 gets approve? Please advice me.
Ans:+++++I see no difference.
d)Will there be any problem while applying for H-1 on April 2004 if I applied for new I-20 on March 2004.
Ans:+++++When you have two applications going, CIS can hold your status to be the one that was approved last in time.
Thank you very much for your time and advice
