OPT & H1-B visa transition _ please suggest

[bhaarathm]

Hello All :
I have been working on my OPT which is valid till June 2008 with employer "A".

I had applied for H1-B visa with employer "B" under Master's quota and got H1-B visa approved in Oct 2007.

As employer "A" is not willing to do corp-corp with employer "B", what options do i have ?

Can i continue on my OPT with "A" till i find a job with employer "B".

Is there a grace time period that is there to switch to H1-B visa from my OPT ?

Please suggest.

There is no question of grace period of changing from OPT to H1. Your status automatically changes to H1 at the start date of H1 and you have to work for employer B.
