Dear Sir,
I came to USA on F1 visa in year 2001(Visa expires in JUl 2006) and I graduated in may 2003. After graduation I was on my opt status(which ends on Jun 2004). Recently through a company I got H1 approved in last month i.e. Feb 2004(no stamping of H1B visa on my passport). But I also got admission for PhD program at a university. I am interested to join the PhD program and I would like to know if I need to apply for H1 to F1 conversion or does international student advisior at the university where i want to do my PhD will take care of it. Since I got H1 approved now(no visa stamping), I want to know if I need to follow any procedure to get admmited as full time student in university and what will be my status.
Thank You,
Niranjan
