just got laidoff...
my info: current h1b(i94) expires on 8/31/2010, last paystub will be on 9/10/2010.
questions:
1. i plan to change to f1 today 8/16/2010. if i find an new job after 8/31/2010 but before f1 approval can my new company file an new h1b or just take a transfer?
3. when can i work for new company after filing new h1b or transfer? immediately or wait for approval?
2. do i need to go outside of us to get i94 for that new h1b or transfer?
3. can i revoke f1 after new h1b or transfer?
4. if can't revoke f1 and f1 gets approved after new h1b or transfer will i be f1 or still h1b?
5. continue with question 4 if i am f1 do i need to file an new h1b again?
this is so complicated......
any comments will be appreciated!!!
