xiaobaitu: an urgent question about H1b stamp thing wheresbee2006-09-21 03:15:56

Dear xbt,
Right now I am graduating and about to have a job offer soon. My current status is F1 with OPT expires next June. As you can see, I have at least 4-month gap before I can work with H1B in 2007.

Here is my questions:
1. If I use H4 to cover my gap, once I have my H1b approved, do I need to go outside of US for the visa stamp?
2. If so, I can register another F1 program (such as community college) to cover the gap? If so, do I need to stamp my H1b visa too?
3. Would you please to explain when the visa stamp is necessary? What's the rule behind it?

Thank you for your help!

visa stamp usually give you the entry right after travel,if you

so F1-H4-H1, I do not need go outside of US to stamp?

sure
