mitra lai dhanyabad. but i heard kaplan has changed its policy regarding international students and i-20 thing.  after earning 4 year degree working hard, i would be devastated to have to go back to school this early.  i have not heard from the boss regarding if they will do my h1, may be i will hear later this week.

@bengaltiger
thank you.  i am thinking about premium processing if the decides to do the h1 for me.  what kind of documents would i need to do so?

@kalopani
thank you.  i have the same thought. but when i join some consultancy, i will be in the payroll of some other company.  is it going to matter when i apply for opt extension using this method? has anyone done this way? 

please advise, i appreciate you all.
