Gaurav124 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hello, While in India, my company sponsored my H1B visa in Dec 2014. However, I never traveled to the USA on H1B. In 2016, I decided to pursue Masters in the USA. I got F1 visa in May 2016 and the immigration officer put "CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE stamp on my H1B visa while issuing F1. I entered United States on F1 visa. I want to know when I start working in the USA on my OPT and then when I want to move to H1B visa from OPT, How different the process will be from those who are simply moving from F1 to H1B? Is there any impact on getting H1B visa due to this scenario? Any help will be appreciated. Thank You. Link to comment
adshah84 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 You can not use that H1b unless you are joining the same company. You will have to apply for new non CAP exempt H1b. Link to comment
Chai Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 OPT is not a visa status, F1 is. You shall be in F1 status until your OPT expires. Link to comment
