H1B change of status

[shankar reddy]

1. My h1b is approved but my change of status from F1 to H1 is denied. Am I out of status now?
2. My another H1b is in progress with USCIS and waiting for the decision. Can I wait for its decision before I go for stamping?
3. When I check with DSO regarding my sevis, it is showing as status pending and not revoked. Does that mean my F1 status still active?  I can see my i94 details online.

1. Depending on when your OPT ends. if OPT ends before 9/30, when H1B is approved, cap-gap will extend opt to 9/30. So you may now in the 60-day grace period.

2. You can. Assume these are two different employers. So both H1b can not be used interchangably.

3. Normally when H1b is approved regardless if its change of status or consulate processing, SEVIS will show F1 as complete on 10/01
