  OPT(F1) is expiring, help!!
penangboy
Hi,

I worked for a company while I was in OPT. They didn't apply H1-B for me until lately. Last month, the company laid-off employees while I haven't got the H1-B issued. My OPT will be expired in 2 months. It is nearly impossible to find sponserships.

Thought of going for Master program, but worry about the costs. Is it possible to go for full-time Master program while looking for job, then become full-time employee and part-time student?

I will appreciate any suggestions and helps.

THANK YOU!!!

It is possible as far as F-1 status is concerned.

I've read something about H-1 workers beeng allowed to change their employers once they receive their status. Maybe it applies to your situation somehow. I think in this situation you may want to consult a lawyer.
