Hi all,
I had a question on H1 B. Currently I have my first 3 year slot ending
May 2006.
I am planning to get my next slot of 3 years from May 2006- May 2009.
But I have question. What happens to the time if after one year (
argument sake say May 2007) ; I decide to join School and change from
H1 to F1. Do I loose my remaining (2) years of H1 as it is time
stepulated from 2006 to 2009? Or do I still have the remainig 2 years
of H1 ( as I changed my status from H1 to F1) ? Or Can I get a one year
H1B for my second quota instead of three years ?
Thanks in advance

Technically, you are supposed to be able to simply continue the H-1B for
another two years after switching back from F-1.
In real life, though, it is my understanding that USCIS would count you
against the quota again. You would still only have two years.
My FAQ site at http://www.kkeane.com has more details on when the clock
starts, stops and resumes.

Re: H1B Timing Query
HI keane,
Your answer has been most helpul and clear.
I was wondering that if I can get 1 year H1 B instead of 3 years slot ?
Is that possible ?
Are there any pros and Cons to it.
Thanks a million in advance.

Yes, you can simply request an earlier start date. But why would you? Just
apply for the three years. If you change from H-1B to F-1 after a year, it
will still only count as one year. There is really no benefit to filing a
shorter H-1B.

Ooops. Typo that distorted the meaning: of course I meant to say, you can
simply request an earlier END date.
