Hi Rajiv,
Here is a brief summary of my situation:
My OPT expired on March 12. I have 60 days grace period to get back in status. I have applied for H1 last week. I haven't done anything yet to be in status like applying to another school or B1/B2. Under these circumstances:
1. Will my H1 application be returned (before I even get a receipt) because I haven't given CIS information on how I will be in status till Oct 1?
2. If the application is returned, do I have to apply for H1 only after I get proof of the status (new F1 or B1/B2) and is it subject to the availability at that point of time or will it be accepted irrespective of cap issues (because it is a returned application)? I am worried as B1 or B2 approval takes lot of time and F1 doesn't take less either.
I appreciate your time and attention.
Regards,
Kydesi
