H1B-F1--H1B again?

Hi Sir,

 

Thanks for reading and replying.

 

I was on H1B (not stamped, just in papers), i went to India and since i could not get a stamping (i did not go for stamping), i went for F1 visa directly. 

 

Now that i am on F1 in USA, my H1B (which was obtained in Dec 2011) was used only for 2 years - Sep 2014 my H1B expired, but i was told that i can use the H1B receipt and look for jobs and can activate the H1B again (though i am currently on F1)

 

Can you kindly let me know if it can be done please!

 

Thanks once again for your time!

Hello All,

 

Its me again! Just a small clarification needed!

My employer has applied for my H1B transfer in premium process.

Post receiving the case number or the VAC number, he said i can leave my university (F1 Status) and join his office.

 

My questions are,

what happens if the transfer is not successful? I cannot go back to my F1 right?

Would i have to leave the country immediately?

Should i wait till the USCIS approves the transfer?

 

Thanks for your time & advice!

You cannot join employer before your H1B petition is approved. That is violation of immigration law.
