Hi,
This is my situation:
-Graduated from a renowned university in may 2011
-started working on OPT till April 2012
-got H1 approved and stamped in oct 2012
-got laid off in Nov 2012
-got I20 in Nov 2012 from same university in graduate program from same feild. In order to maintain legal status.
I have following questions:
1. Since F1 is still pending can a company apply for H1
2. Should I wait for F1 to be approved and then apply for H1
3. Will the whole situation negatively affect future VISA processings.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
