Hello. I am on OPT extension and expires on Dec 31st 2014. I am working for Non Profit Organization which is filing a Non profit H1 now and that effective from Jan 1st 2015, if it gets approved. This H1 is non transferable and doesn't come under quota. I also have approved quota H1b from a different employer, effective date Oct 1st 2014, So I can't use that to work at this Organization. Now the issue is " As I am on OPT and H1 got approved, I came to know that, my status will automatically change from OPT to H1B. So then I can't work for the Organization. I want now Whether I can continue on OPT till Dec 31st 2014 with out changing the status to H1B, So that in the mean time I will get my approved Organization H1B,effective start date Jan 1st 2015. If in case, my status automatically changed to H1B on OCT 1st 2014, Can I changed it back to OPT because I don't want to use that H1B. If it doesn't change back to OPT, then what Can I do to go forward. Could you please suggest me on the above issues. Thank you.

If you are on OPT and have a valid i-20... you can come back... since your visa is already valid.

Thanks For everyone on this forum for providing help. I got my Visa Approved today. The VO asked only a few questions : 1. Which University did you finish your masters and which field? 2. When did u start working for ur employer? 3. When did u graduate and how long did you work on OPT? 4. Who is your Client? (Told him and said my employer was a direct vendor) 5. What do you do at your client Location?(told him my position name) 6. Plz describe what the application you developed does for the client ?(Told him about it and how a Manager would use it on a daily basis) 7. Asked for my last year W2, paystubs for this year and LCA? 8. Went inside and came back after 2minutes. 9. Types something in the computer... and then said "Visa Approved" Thanks All.

Hi anandam , i saw a friend who is going to stamping on Oct 17th and his client gave him his client letter but mentioned the projetc would end by Feb 2013 . he is working since march 2012 there , so he took with him the contract paper that teh client will keep in his cube on the first day of joining showing the end date as aug 2012 to prove that his project is extending from then . Not sure how long you have been with the client ..just my 2 cents opinion .

Its normal Dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
