viddu512 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi members, while on F1 and working FT using CPT can an employer file H1 if the candidate has only a foreign degree although the candidate enrolled and working towards a US degree or does the candidate have to complete the course requirements and remain in OPT period for this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 can an employer file H1 if the candidate --- if employer wanted they can file but it will be risky to get it approved. Quote Link to comment

Hi gopalkrishna, can you please clarify what do you mean by 'risky'? if filed, the H1 would come under general quota i.e. 65k visas right? this seems legal to me. are you saying that it's highly likely that it'll be rejected?

Zodiac System Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 It is a good idea to complete the degree. A masters degree from US is valuable Quote Link to comment
