Hi All,
I am currently on OPT STEM Extension which is valid until April end of 2015. My Student Visa F1 has expired and I am currently working on a contract position at a software company. My employer does not plan to sponsor my H1B visa this April. I am trying other opportunities where my H1b sponsorship is available. My question is If I miss this April(2014) H1b deadline, and if I want to visit India in december, what would my options be? Is it safe to ask for F1 extension with a client letter and EAD card?
Also, if I get married in december and come on H4 visa, is it possible to get H4 to H1 transfer? would H4-F1-H1 be a safer bet for me? I have not heard many cases of H4 to H1B visa changes.
If I do not leave the country and continue working and get my H1b filed in the next april(2015), Am I eligible for CAP GAP on STEM extension as my EAD would expire in April 2015 end.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
