Hi,
I am originally from India and had entered US on F-1 visa in August 2007 for a Masters degree. I graduated on August 10, 2009. I shifted to F-1 OPT from Sept 1, 2009 and started working in a company from the same date. My employer is thinking of applying for my H-1B visa for FY-2010 since the visas are still available this year.
We were confused on what to fill up in form I-129 for the following questions:
1. Requested Nonimmigrant Classification: "H-1B1" or "H-1B"?
2. Basis for Classification: "New Employment" or "Change in Previously Approved Employment"?
3. Petition Receipt Number: "N/A" or "I-797 number approving my F-1 OPT"?
4. Prior Petition: "N/A" or "I-797 number approving my F-1 OPT"?
5. Requested Action: option "b"?
Your help is really appreciated. I look forward to your reply.
Thanks a lot.
