Query regarding COS from H1 to F1


Recommended Posts

I am on H1B approved till Dec 31 2020. My employment has ended on Aug 7th. I got admitted to school for Oct 2019 intake and I have applied for Change of Status on Sep 30. After Oct 6th( 60 day grace period rule) I am legal to stay in US until my COS gets approved.
 
 If i find an employer who can transfer my H1 after oct 6th, let me know  whether I am eligible to work on receipt notice or do i need to wait until my H1 transfer gets approved.

You are legal to stay as you applied for COS and awaiting decision. You need to wait until H-1 is approved. But make sure to withdraw F-1 COS petition after new H-1 approval or else the latest approval will take effect.
