Can I change status (F1to H1B) during Green card processing?

Scenario: I have applied for GC under EB2 Category and my current visa status is F1 and about to expire and my employer agree to apply my H1B.

Please help la!

It shouldn't be a problem. Did you check with your lawyer?

I think u should be all right.


F-1 is not dual intent (your sole intention is to aquire knowledge and return) as H-1 so going from H-1 to F-1 while under EB2 process might not be possible, since you have shown your interest to stay in US by applying for EB2. However, going from F-1 to H-1 which is a dual intent SHOULD NOT be a problem.


Unless a legal expert comes here and responds to these questions, I strongly advise other posters to also consult an immigration lawyer (we have so many Nepali lawyers now) and maybe post on immigration forums that are rampant nowadays. Immigration issue is a serious one and you can't rely on these kinds of info sharing places to make such a huge decision.
