Hi,
I am currently on OPT and it is valid until January 2006.
My company will sponsor me for an H1B so I will apply for an H1B on April 1st 2005 to start on October 1st 2005.
If my H1B is approved and I receive a new I-94, what happens if I go on vacation outside the US for two weeks in August?
Can I come back, work with my OPT for a few weeks until October 1st and then start working with my H1B? Can I enter the US as an F1 or do I need to get an H1B visa stamp while outside the US? The problem is that if I try to enter the US as an H1B in August, they might say it is too early because my H1B will start only on October 1st.
Please help me...
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Nic
