infamous Posted June 4, 2019 Report Posted June 4, 2019 Hi, My company had filed for my Change of Status application to H1 from F1 - OPT - EAD. My application got selected in the lottery and also has been approved. (waiting for physical confirmation mail) I have plans to go back and work in India. However, I would like to keep my options open for a potential H1 transfer later on. I would like to know what is the best time for me to go back to India. Is it safe to go back to India around October 21st? If I go back and work in India, since I would be "cap - exempt", I am assuming I would not have to go through the process of H1 lottery again. Am I right? In case, in the future I would like to come back to the US, will just an H1 transfer suffice? Would the employers be willing to readily do it? What other documents would I need during that time?
pontevecchio Posted June 4, 2019 Report Posted June 4, 2019 You need to have worked for the initial H1 employer at least once before you can be cap exempt for future employers.
infamous Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Posted June 25, 2019 Thanks for your answer. I have one more doubt in addition to the above question. If I leave on October 21st for India, would it be advisable for me to get my passport stamped immediately as soon as I go to India? (In case I plan to come back within the next three years) Is it even possible for me to get my passport stamped for H1 because I will resign from my employer when I leave on October 21st?
