hey Prerit, where did u get that information from. H1 has nothing to do with ur joining kaplan thats just to maintain ur status so that u dont have immigration problem. By the way it doesnt matter were u join as long as u have an i-20 , you could have graduated from napal you still qualify to apply for the h1 with your degree and work experience under general quota . And guys plz do not leave Nepal during your OPT not atleast till ur h1 b is confirmed ,dont take that risk.
