I am on a student visa, about to run out, hoping my H-1B will come through quickly. I just
heard I can't transfer from F-1 to H-1B. Will I have to leave? What if the cap is met
before I get approved? Will they let me back?
Carl Shusterman:
Students
in F-1 status are allowed to change to H-1B status. In fact, last year, The INS published
special regulations assisting F-1students and J-1 Exchange Visitors, who wanted to change
their status to H-1B. See:http://shusterman.com/fj-hrule.html
