Sorry it took us so long. We didn't know the answer, so we posted your question to alt.visa.us. Here's the answer we got. Ingo is probably one of the best experts on the subject (although he sais he's not a lawyer):
Ingo wrote: I don't understand the question. Does he plan to abandon his plans to get an H-1B? In that case, he can indeed apply for grad school, but may have to leave the US to complete the change (I'm not sure about that). Be sure to write to INS to withdraw the H-1B. If he merely is concerned about maintaining a valid status, no need to worry. An F-1 applying for a change to H-1B is permitted to wait in the US for the approval, regardless of how long it takes (well, almost). Ingo I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. For reliable advice, please consult with a professional immigration attorney. For further information, check the following frequently-requested links. For many questions, you may find answers at http://travel.state.gov/visa_services.html (Department of State) or http://ins.usdoj.gov (INS). For consular policies and visa reciprocity fees, find your consulate in http://travel.state.gov/links.html For information on affidavit of support for marriage to US citizens (I-864), go to http://travel.state.gov/i864gen.html and http://travel.state.gov/checklist.html For poverty levels, see http://travel.state.gov/99guidel.html (Note: poverty levels for 2000 are higher) For information on H/L/O/P visa extensions at Dept. of State in St. Louis, MO, see http://travel.state.gov/revals.html For non-official information, check: (When using these sites, and any Web sites, please watch out for privacy, as I do not know all site operators.) http://www.visalaw.com http://www.shusterman.com http://www.immigration.com http://members.aol.com/MDUdall http://www.murthy.com/ http://www.getusavisa.com http://greencard-lottery.virtualave.net/ http://www.jcvisa.com (H-1B) http://www.h1bresources.com (marriage and fiancee) http://www.kamya.com/misc/ (marriage and fiancee) http://www2.apex.net/users/thehydes This is not an endorsement of any of these Web sites.
