OPT to F1 or H1
hi if someone could answer I would be very relieved as I am very lost right now!
My OPT expires 2 weeks from now. The lawyer that has filed my i-130 (it was approved a year ago) and is doing the green card paperwork adviced me to register for school asap so that I dont lose my student status. She said thats the best way to maintain status since my green card is pending. (she hasnt filed for i-485 yet, I didnt exactly understand why. dates are not current yet?) is there any other form I could apply for? i-765, etc? I am working right now, but my company doesnt do sponsorships. Could I apply independently for an hi-b? I have a masters from a US university, does the new law help me at all?
You filed I-130 on which bases ?
My father filed as a citizen.
youd better maintain your F-1 status or get H1B status until you get your visa number. You have to have an employer willing to sponsor you for H1B. You cant just file for H1B on your own.
