  • Can i study full-time Masters while on L1-Blanket visa?

    I am currently employed in San Jose, CA on a L1-Blanket Visa. I have an admit from UC San Diego for Fall 2015 M.S (Electrical Engineering).
    My plan was to quit my job in July, go to India and get F-1 visa. However, I am eligible for In-state tuition at UCSD (which is $15,000 vs $30,000) if i enter school on a L-1 visa. Entering school on F-1 disqualifies me for this tuition waiver.
    I was under the impression that my L1-B will be void the day i quit my job here in CA. However, if there is a way for me to work on L1-B after quitting my job, i will change travel plans and not go to India in July.
    Turning to immihelp for some advice. Appreciate it in advance.

    Thanks.

    If you have entered US with an L1 category visa and then your employment is terminated, you lose the legal non-resident alien status. Your L1 visa is tied to your employer.
