Hi,

 

I am having a couple of questions here. I am on my F1 visa right now and my H1b with my current employer is approved with consulate notification. I am now planning to shift to a new employer since I would like to relocate to my husband place. 

 

1) Can the new employer apply for a H1b with a change of status so that I dont have to go to india for stamping? I already have an appointment at the consulate.Should I wait till my new H1b is approved?

 

2) Can I change jobs while in OPT extension?
