H1 to F1 transfer

[senapati]

I am planning to get into a university in 2008. I will be maxing out on my H1 in the same year. Will there be a problem getting F1 just before I maxout my H1?

Interview for US reentry.

I am currently a student of medical field. I will gradute and get a job next year. Definitely, I must change student visa (F1) into working visa (H1). However, I want to go back to visit my country. If I can get a new working visa within 1 or 3 years for example, do I have to be interviewed in my country before I come back to work in US during that validable time? Please let me know what should I do to reentry into US.

Thanks
Jenny

if u get a H1, and go out to your country you need to go to consulate to get your visa stamped. there might be an interview but its no big deal as u have US education and a US job

other option would be to go to canada..more easy to handle..get your visa stamped and enter US. Then u can go to your country and come back without going to consulate in your country.

hope that helps
