F2 -> H1B -> F2 again? (F2 visa not stamped "cancelled without prejudice")
Hi,
I first came to the US with a J-1 visa in 2001. A year later, I applied for another J-1 visa and the first one was stamped "cancelled without prejudice". I got married in 2003 to a foreign student and my status changed to F2 - the previous J-1 visa was also stamped "cancelled without prejudice". About 6-7 months later I found a teaching job and my school sponsored me for a H1B visa - but this time, the F2 visa was NOT stamped "cancelled without prejudice". Never had any problems when driving back to the US from Mexico (we live in Texas and visit family there fairly often). Now that my husband graduated, applied for OPT and got a job, and we had our first child, I want to go back to F2, but I am wondering if I need to do anything at all, since my F2 visa was never cancelled (it will expire in May 2007). I am on maternity leave right now, but won't be going back to work next school year (my resignation will be effective as of June 1, and I will be considered a school employee until the beginning of August). Do I need to get my H1B visa cancelled? If so, how would I do it? Anyone with similar experiences out there, or at least some advice as to what I should do to make sure I'm never out of status? Thanks for your help! Maria |
