H1B pending, OPT expired, joined school SEVIS transfer done, can I quit school if H1B gets approved?

Dear friends,

 

My H1B is pending, it is in RFE response review since August 30, the employer is not willing to do PP, I stopped working working this week as my OPT expired. Instead of being in grace period I joined a new school, sevis transfer is done to this new School. The School starts in a week from now, my question is will that be a problem in terms of out of status if I quit School immediately when I  get my H1B approved?

 

or Would you recommend me to finish atleast one semester as I will be paying the fees for the first semester as the school has weekend classes?

 

Thanks

During your H1 interview what will you answer if vo asks "If you are not interested to go to school then why did you joined the school??"

Thank you for your response Rahul,

 

As the grace period ends in first week of december ( where my grace period ends) , I would not have any option to leave the country as the schools usually starts in Januray first week. I thought to get admitted to a school to be in a safe side. I agree with you that VO may asks about it, now that my SEVIS transfer is done, what would you recommend to me now?

 

I could say to VO that I was not sure about the H1B so decided to join school as I don't want to be Out of status, I am not sure if this is a good answer.

 

Probably I would complete one semester and then leave the University if this sounds a reasonable option for me. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions, or advice for me now.

 

Thank You so much for everything, you guys are really helpful.

That's nothing but abuse of F1 rules. You did to stay in US not in status, this is another abuse of immigration.

People join school to learn something, not to bridge between two status gaps.
