Change of status

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The difficulty with your situation is that you cannot just apply for a change of status without again applying for the H-1B petition as there is no separate form for change of status as there was in earlier days. Perhaps you may be able to premium process your H-1B so the both the petition and change of  status are approved effective October 1st. In such case, you may be able to travel after the approval and before October 1st. Of course, there is the possibility that a CBP inspector may question you on the issue of nonimmigrant intent if he or she discovers that you have applied for and have been approved for H-1B status. As you know, F-1 students are not supposed to have an immigrant intent.

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
H-1B holders who are dismissed or leave their present employment are given 60 days to file further papers with USCIS to keep themselves in status. In your case, if your new employer filed for an H-1B transfer for you within 60 days of your leaving or being dismissed from the former company, you would be considered in status by the agency.
