F1 stamping after COS (H4 to F1) while working on Fulltime CPT

[narsimhav]

Hi,

 

I entered US on H4 and later joined a university and converted to F1. 

I have 2 more courses to complete my degree.

I am presently working on Fulltime CPT and i have a need to travel to India next month.

I know that i have to go for Visa stamping after I go to India in order to come back to US.

My spouse is on H1 and needs to go for stamping as her H1 stamping is expired.

 

My question is, 1) since I am working on CPT, will that cause any problem to my visa stamping?

2) I have only 2 more courses left to finish my degree, will this have any impact on my visa stamping?

 

If anyone recently been in my situation and went to India and got the visa approved, please share your experiences

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks

If your CPT is not legitimate you will not a visa stamping to US.

What exactly mean by "working fulltime in CPT"? What is the name of your university? Did everyone in your class took CPT and working full time?

That looks like CPT abuse. On F1, you are supposed to study, not work. And CPT is only for work as integral part of the curriculum, i.e., something like required internships. It is not for "working fulltime " in some job.

This kind of stuff is a big red flag nowadays.

What is the update on your stamping?

 

As I'm also curious to know the details as I'm going through the same situation.

Like we said before, if your CPT is legitimate then you are good to go
