nbdcool Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hello, I am pregnant and expecting in October, my H1B was filed this year and it got selected but received RFE for GBC based CPT My lawyer is telling me that I will get my H1 but the change of status will be denied and need to go India. I will not be able to go India for stamping due to my pregnancy, can someone please tell me what are the options I have to maintain my status? Can I go later for stamping and stay in USA till the birth of child? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you! Link to comment

JoeF Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Currently I am on F1 CPT with goldy beacom college You can probably forget the H1. That is a shady institution, and their CPT is likely fraudulent. Prepare to leave the country. And next time, going to a college is for studying, not for working. Find a real university.

That particular institution, and a fe others, are known to abuse the CPT rules. It is likely that your H1 will get denied due to the CPT abuse. And the F1 could then also be gone, for the same reason. This is stuff that has been talked about on forums for YEARS! Have you not heard of TVU? After the raid on TVU in Jan. 2011, there really is no excuse to sign up with such shady institutions. An F1 is for studying, NOT for working in some arbitrary job with CPT! Link to comment

Honestly speaking, we are not scaring you. I am just talking the truth. Do you know that F1 is not for working in CPT? Do you know why ppl got deported for working in CPT? Just use google search to learn more. Learn why TVU and other universities were raided by ICE. Link to comment

If your COS is not approved then you will be on F1 till you finish your degree. After that file for COS to dependent status. Link to comment

Just stuck to question.can she stay in US if her H1B is approved by COS is denied? And those H1's will be revoked in future, just wait and see. Reason why USCIS approved their H1 is they just needed money. Link to comment

What you are doing is abuse of CPT, plain and simple. And that will kill your future in the US. Link to comment

nbdcool Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 This is so confusing now, it's true lot of my friends also got there H1b approved through Goldy Beacom. I am just worried as my due date is October first week and I will not able to go for stamping to India.Is it possible I can go india for stamping after 2-3 months and get approval of H1 or I need to forget about h1 and come back to F1 and try applying next year??

I have seen cases where ppl got NOIR after 6 yrs of H1. You can search them on this forum. Bottomline, CPT from day1 is illegal. Link to comment

Is your spouse on H1? If so then go for COS to H4, you can think about H1 later, first you need to think about your baby not H1. Link to comment

TVU was just the most notorious. Basically, all institutions that give out CPT from day one are shady and need to be avoided. And this IS a big deal. USCIS cracks down on this nowadays and it WILL end your future in the US. Link to comment
