Hi

 

My 6 year H1b will be over on June 10th. I got admission for Masters(F1) but the school starts from 19th. Will I be illegal for nine days. Please suggest.

 

Thanks

You are fine.

9 days is not a big deal. But most of the schools start in Aug, what's the name of your school?

That's private univ, why not public univ? Remember, you cannot use this degree for immigration benefits.

OK. You mean can I not get CPT and OPT.

Stop thinking about CPT. You will not be eligible for H1B in advanced degree quota.

Are you planning to work on CPT or go to school?

Why would you care about CPT?

You should concentrate on studying.

And no real university gives out CPT to somebody who just signed up. If that institution does, they are shady, a fraud.

Abuse of CPT will end your future in the US.

Concentrate on studying.

That's not possible on F1. CPT is not for working, its for students.

If your intention is to work on CPT then forget about it. That leads to deportation if you get caught. 

Moreover with CPT on your record, you can't get H1 so all your doors will be closed.

 

Forget CPT.
