discover99 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi all , I was working in H1-B visa and its valid for 3 years and i was trying to go to the other job because the job was very tough to me. And i quit the job as one of the other employee said he is going to apply me a H1-b transfer. but he did not do that. And when i went to the previous employer he said my H1-B is revoked and i have to leave the country and i am now in 5th month of unemployment. And i am in big trouble now. Is there any chance like going to India and come back on F1 Visa which is still active on which i came to US for doing Masters. After the masters i got approved for H1 and this happened. I got admission for a university and I applied for MBA program. I got the I-20 and the Acceptance Letter. Is there any problem if i go to India and come back to USA On My F1 visa and start My Studies on MBA. Will my F1 will be active or not after the H1 b approval? please reply me thanks. Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 You would have to get a new F1 visa. The old visa is not valid anymore after 5 months out of the university. And is the new university accredited? Link to comment
discover99 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yes It is accredited. If its Accredited and then is it easy at the port of entry ? as my F1 is still valid and i do not need to go to consulate in India. I will be in USA not More than 6 months. So i am planning as Travel to Restore the F1 visa. please let me know i have to do it as soon as possible to avoid the unlawful presence. thanks. Link to comment

discover99 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Will there be any issue at the Port Of Entry if i stay in USA not more than 6 months and travel to India, Canada Or Mexico? As my H1-b is Revoked will there be any Problem to Re-enter on F1 Visa by travel to restore visa Category? I am totally under confusion where to go for my F1 visa to get back active?

JoeF Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yes It is accredited. If its Accredited and then is it easy at the port of entry ? as my F1 is still valid and i do not need to go to consulate in India. If it is more than 5 months since you left school you will need a new F1 visa. That's the rule. And given that you are out of status for a significant amount of time, you will likely get into lots of problems. Link to comment
discover99 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Actually i consulted a immigration attorney and they told me that i can do Travel to Restore my F1-visa. I actually got approved the H1-B right away after my OPT. And My F1-Visa is still not expired. Link to comment
