Does unstamped H1 visa get cancelled on getting F1 Visa?

[sacmons]

Hi,

I have my H1 visa papers with me but i haven't got my H1 visa stamped and now i wish to study further and for that i intend to get an F1 visa.

I wanted to know that if i get an F1 visa,does my H1 visa gets cancelled,which is not yet stamped.

Thanks,
Sacs

No. It is a petition, not a visa. It can be revoked by the employer or if it is fraudulent.

Hi,
But it isnt a fraudulent Petition.
I just wanted to know that will my petition be revoked if F1 is approved?

Thanks,

It remains valid through the exp date as long as the sponsor does not revoke it.
