i have a masters from univ A and upon its completion i did not take OPT but went for a phd to univ B.I want to quit phd now (without completing,so CANNOT get a OPT) and file for h1b this april.
will i go out of status from F-1, the moment i file for H1b or will i lose F-1 status and gain H1b status once my H1b gets approved.
also can i legaly stay in USA without working or studying till 1 st october after h1b approval.
