Hello Experts,
Recently my name was picked in the H1 lottery and my employers are keen to send me to client side since they have openings. However I had appeared for my F1 interview early this month and aready have an F1 stamped. I have financial constraints , so on those grounds I am thinking of not going on F1 this fall and instead try for H1. My worries are:
- My petition is currently in Initial review .I am yet to withdraw from the University from where I got the I 20 . Could this have an impact on my petition getting accepted or rejected. Will it help if I withdraw from my university asap?
-My H1 interview would be sometime in October . So by that time I would have informed my University and I guess the system would reflect that I didnt actually use my F1. So if I try to explain to the officer that my decision was based on financial grounds and that I would still try to persue my masters if possible while on H1, would it be acceptable?
Could someone please answer my queries. I read up similar articles on this forum but wanted to share my case .
Thanks .
