Can we apply in Advanced Degree quota without completing MS

[kadiyalasubhash]

Hi All,

 

Here is my situation.

 

I am doing my second masters and I can't apply for OPT. And I will be graduated in May. So can I apply in MS Quota in March?

You can apply using your first master's degree.

In a word, NO.  You must meet the requirements for the H-1B visa petition at the time it is filed (e.g.  in April), not at the time it is approved or starts.
