I am still confused regarding the status between OPT and start of H1B. my OPT expires on may and H1b starts from october 1st. i had the impression that i can get I 20 from some other school and stay here legally until my H1b starts but i read in other thread that i can not do that after my H1B approval because that will automatically void my H1B. in such case, what would be the solution to stay in USA without being out of status? i am sure there are many who are in similar situation, what you guys are thinking? any suggestion from your lawyer?
