ld是opt,和我一起交了485,现在准备申H1B,但是他们公司HR说这种情况不能在境内转H1B,
-The HR is wrong. Th eI-485 filing has nothing to do with the H1 petition (your change status from F1 to H1).
ld OPT8月到期,HR让用485based的EAD cover gap,
-Not true. You can just work from the OPT expiration date to Oct. 1 (H1 effective date) if you file th eH1 before your OPT expires, and this is the "Cap to Gap" rule for F1 to cap-subjected H1. Not need EAD to cover thh egap.
但是当时问了我的律师说是没问题,到底ld现在还能申H1B并且在美国境内转身份吗?
-yes.
