Hey Guys, I just wanted to reach out to you guys and get some idea about the H1 visa issue in '07. As most of you guys are aware a lot of students were not able to get their H1B applied in '06 as the quota was exceeded. So most of the students who graduated last year are working on OPT in hope of getting the H1 applied and approved in '07. Assuming that H1 is applied by April / May time frame, OPT expires in end of May/ early June. If H1 is approved the person cannot start the job untill Oct. So, I was wondering what options are open for these individuals for 3 months? I know we had several threads about it and lot talked about taking summer classes. However, with that said, the individual is not able to work during that time. Anyone with options / ideas about this time frame.. thanks in advance!
