Hello, I really appreciate if anyone here could help me on this..
The company I have been working with an H1B for a years got recently restructured to a new firm and it filed a H1B transfer for me this Feb. The petition got an RFE and the firm made an Appeal, which is now pending. The job looks now rather unsecure and I am not sure if the company will continue sponsoring me for a new H1B if this transfer got denied in the worst case scenario..
So my questions are:
1. Can I file a COS to F-1 while my H1B transfer appeal is still pending?
2. If my H1B transfer appeal got rejected, or I got laid off while it's still pending, after that happened is it still possible and in time to file a COS to F1?
I am really worried about my current situation now, and thank you very much if you could kindly help on it!
Best regards,
Karl
