F1 to H1B

[I797 B help]

Hi

 

I'm currently working on CPT and will be graduating in DEC. MY H1B was approved but with out I94. I got I797B

 

Can I work on F-1 till DEC and then go for my H1B stamping in end of DEC? Will my H1B be valid after DEC?

 

Please reply

Your H1 starts from Oct 1st, you cannot defer your H1 start date.

 

Your post clearly says why your COS was rejected.

Hi,

 

I am also in the same situation - was working on CPT since Jan 2013. now my H1B has approved on oct 23rd but COS denied.

 

My school DSO informed me my SEVIS is also terminated on Oct 26th.

 

I planning to leave for stamping ASAP but document collection and everything is taking time.

 

My question is - is it okay if I leave withing 45 days or is it too late?

 

Any advice/ suggestion is highly appreciated!

 

Thank You!

I believe you are accumulating unlawful presence in US from Oct 26th as your SEVIS is terminated. You should have left long back.
