URGENT - COS H1B to F1 - HELP.

[stocknsurf]

Currently I am in a H1B visa and I have applied for a change of status from H1B visa to F1 visa, with the intention of higher education in the USA. The application has been already submitted to the INS and I have a case # for the same.

But now my priorities have changed and want to work full-time on an H1B rather than go to school.

Now that I have already applied for a COS from H1B to F1, how do I handle this situation? I know currently my H1B is still valid and I can continue working. But what happens if my F1 visa is approved? Does the approval of COS from H1B to F1 visa, automatically invalidate my H1B or does it still allow me to have my H1B and continue working? Do I have an option (like having multiple H1Bs, but using only one of them). ?

Now that I have already submitted the application for COS from H1B to F1, is there any way to revoke the application from the INS? (Interested in this case only if my F1 approval automatically invalidates my H1B).

Appreciate your valuable advice.

Your employer may have to file new H1

It is not clear whether INS will count the date of notice of your F1 as change of status or when you are enrolled in the university. With such an undefined state your employer may have to file a new H1 under premium processing to keep things straight but at the same time you may also have to write to the INS for withdrawing the F1 application.

H1 to FI

I want to start study full time and for that I have to change visa from H1B to F1.

I am working full time currently so have a valid visa but in order to change my visa do I have to leave usa and go back to India or is
their another less risky option.

thanks for your time
