H1b to F1b after 6 years completion and then F1 to H1b

[ADG]

Hi ,

I completed my 6 years in US on 30 April 2021 and then I enrolled myself to to a MS course in US which would begin in Fall 2021.

I am planning to go to US as F1 student in Fall 2021 and apply for H1b again after completing my  MS educttion.

My question is , since there is not a gap of 1 year (cooling period) after H1 max date (30 April 2021) and before I join MS as F1 student ( August 2021). Will I be able raise H1 request again immediately after completing my MS or the cooling off period (1  year after H1) will be point of contention?

Thanks in advance for your response

 

Regards,

Amar

Your employer can petition for you, but it will result in RFE/denial due to you not being out of US for atleast1 year. 

You will need to be physically out of US, also not complicate by switching between F1 and H1.

You have to be abroad for at least a year to be able to get a new H1. Entering with an F1 before the year is over would mean you'd have to be abroad again for a year after the studies to get a new H1.

You have to stay out of USA for complete one year before you apply for the H1b again.  In above scenario you will not be eligible to apply for H1b once you will complete your study.
