I am currently on my OPT which ends in the end of May'07. If I am filing for my H1B in April '07 and it is approved by premium processing.

Then is it legal to stay in the US from June to September or am I supposed to leave the country and reenter in October'07.
 
my OPT also exprires on may 07 and according to me you cannot stay in US, you need some status till OCT 07. now i am also trying to find out what to do? we have 2 options, 1) Go for school and get i-20 and be in status.
2) Go for another country or home country where u can work with ur employer and then comeback after stamping to US.

please be in touch we have to find out good solution, if you find something let me know.

thanks,
perry
 
Yeah perrry, we can be in touch. I tried to gather some information, seems like, we can't stay in the country and thus either you are enrolled with a school, ot your emplyer allows you to work from another country or then u start work from oct 1st and take a forced vacation

I am talking to some leagl advice. If i get some more concerete information I shall let you know. And you can do the same
 
H-1B results

Hi, Tina! My application was submitted last Dec and accdg to the HR Dept, Vermont asked for more information. Does it mean my application is being considered even if the quota has been reached july 26? I work in a non-profit organization as a special ed teacher. Does this qualify for no-quota requirement?

Also, I don't think HR Dept didn't prepare an LCA. Is this truly required? How come Vermont Center didn't ask for it when they sent the request for more info?

Thanks!
