愁死了,版上有不同的意见。LD也是相同的情况。就是怕万一140/485悲剧,甚至仅仅
是file了都会影响H1B的申请。我们都是OPT,正准备申H1B(本来想是明年初等OPT失效后
再接着H1B). 看来最好还是H1b到手后再开始?下面是资讯一位律师说的:

The NIW will not effect the H1B (the H1b visa allows for immigrant
intent). To keep things cleaner, you may want to file the I140 at this
time (and not the adjustment of status). While visas may retrogress
again (this is expected), you will still be in your F-1 status and can
then change to the H1B when the visa is current again. BY filing the AOS
now, this could effect your staying in F-1 status and your ability to
change status to H1B in the future. Another alternative is to have the
employer file to change to your H1B status now instead of waiting. This
might be a better solution.
