1954nishant Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hello, What is the visa status of a person if his H1B petition approves but COS (F1 to H1) is denied ? Does he continue on F1( F1 remains valid ) till the individual goes out of country and gets his visa stamped and returns back ) or is his SEVIS terminated the moment H1B approves ? I applied for H1B (currently on F1) and got an RFE , replied to the RFE September 23rd /today (premium processing) so expecting a response in 15 days . Currently on F1 status with an I20 validity till October 8th 2015 , so wondering if my H1 approves by then but COS is denied what to do ..... Any help please Thanks Nishant Link to comment
rahul412 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 If COS is denied then you need to leave US before your current I20/I94 expires. Link to comment
1954nishant Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Aha , so I have to leave before the I20 expires ? But wouldn't my SEVIS terminate as soon as my H1B approves ? So say even if I20 has 1 year left is it of any use ? Thanks Nishant Link to comment
1954nishant Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well even if I have a valid I20 for say 1 more year , wouldn't my SEVIS terminate the moment my H1B approves ? My I94 has validity for D/S Do you think i need to extend my I20 (by enrolling in another course) ? Please let me know Thanks Nishant Link to comment
rahul412 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yes, if your sevis is terminated then you no longer will be on F1. Why joining another school? Why not H1 visa interview? Link to comment
