情况是这样的,我在网上已经看到有人在申请H1b时被移民局告知由于使用学校发的day1 CPT而导致F1当即失效,结果H1b Approved,但是Change of Status Denied,只有在美国境外H1b Visa Stamp才可以。也就是说在申请H1b以前,是在按规定使用CPT并保持F1身份没必要申请Reinstate。所以我的问题是在Change of Status已经被拒的情况下,我要Reinstate F1成功,是否可以再申请Change of Status而不用回国Stamp?
-You need to get the H-1 visa in China to come back if your F-1 status is reinstated after your employer files the H-1 petition for you because the H-1 petition approval will have no I-94 in this case. But you can stay in US with F-1 status in this case, but you cannot work unless you go to China to get the H-1 visa in China to come back.
If your F-1 reinstatement is approved first, then your employer file H-1 petition later, then your H-1 approval will have I-94, and you do not need to go to China to get the H-1 visa in this case.
I know it might not be a commom issue but I hope it clarifies this time. Thanks!
