1. I am currently on H1-B Visa, which is valid until Sept 2010. However, there is a possibility that I may be “out of status” in mid-July (tentative). I have a MBA degree in business and was planning do MS in Computer Science.
a. If I already have an I20 from one school for MS in accounting however I would like to apply to other school for getting I20 in MS in Computer Science. Will it create a problem for me as I am getting an I20’s in different fields from different universities in about the same time?
b.When I wish to change my status from F1 to H1 in future after completion of study, does my H1 application come under the H1B quota?
c. If not, can I apply my H1 during anytime of the year and when approved can I graduate and join the employer?
d. If after completing my MS in Computer Science, will my H1B transfer process be affected if I later on get a job in audit
2. Do I need to file for Change of Status (COS) before mid-July (when I still am in active status on H1) or it is okay that I file for COS after mid-July?c.Is there a possibility that USICIS will reject my COS application since schools begin in Sept. 2009 and will be out of status by then
3. How much time does it take for F1 approval? Can I start enrolling and attending classes before F1 approval while my COS is in process?
