Hi
I am beneficiary of FY2025 H1B visa starting on October 1st 2024.I am currently working with my employer on F-1 STEM OPT status and my F-1 to H1 change of status has been already approved.Moreover,I am scheduled for a H1B dropbox appointment on September 26th,2024 at the New Delhi OFC. At this stage, I presume ,that my return back to the US would be around sometime late October or early November,2024.Just wondering if in my case if I am outside the US on October 1st,2024, does my F-1 STEM to H1B change of status still activates.I am a little confused here since I believe that for H1B change of status to kick in on October 1st,2024,I have to be present in the US .Please help and provide suggestions.
