My opt period wil expire in May 2009. I haven't filed my H1-B this year. Right now i m thinking to join desi consultancy and file h1 on april 2009. If i don't get H1, will i have time to join college?? I think those company won't notify me untill october.

or should i join college on jan 2009 and then file H1 through any desi consultancy? is it possible to do so?

Please help me with the information...

 

Thank you..

 

 

You have to prepare yourself for the worst case. If you don't apply for the college and if you, just in case, don't get through this freaking lottery, then you will be finished.  Apply for H1B and change of status on April 2009 and at the same time, college for spring or summer session. If possible go for multiple filing and you will be win-win situation. Once you get the H1B, you can stay with H1B with automatic extension of OPT till october.  GUUD LOCK.

Thank you for you reply Damphe. So it means that if i don't get through h1 lottery, then i have to enroll in college till may 2009. But i m wondering what if i get the I-20 in may 2009 for the spring season.

To stay on safe side, i am thinking to get I-20 for this spring. If i enroll in any school then is it possible to file H1 in April ?

 

Thank you.
