hey guys i am posting this thread so that you guys don't have to go through what i did. i would suggest no body to graduate in spring semester (may). coz by then H1 quotas are filled.i am graduating this may i still have 1 month to graduate. i have a company willing to sponsor me for h1 and i had everything set but.....but.. but... i could not file H1 since the cap reached, just the next day on the April 3rd.thats sad.to file it next year my opt is going to end on may next year, taking the 60 days grace period will give my an extension to stay here for another 2 months that is till july but i have to be in status until October which means i have to join somewhere (back to f1)again till i make it for h1. that sucks.
