Hi,

Could someone answer below questions? #1 is most urgent.

1. I am in H1B status and I want to convert to F1 status. I did my Bachelors from US now I want to do my Masters. I have a H1B visa stamped on my passport with I-94 expiring on 2013. My class starts from Fall 2011 (early September) so I have few months time. If I apply for COS now (April), can I stay in US till my class starts?

2. When my status will be pending, can I still work on my current job with H1B status or do I need to leave my job.

3. If my F1 status gets denied, and I get a 30 days leave notice, and if I find another employer within that time frame who will file H1B visa, can I start a new job?

4. If my F1 status gets denied (with 30 days leave notice), can I continue working on my current job on current H1B status? Or once F1 status gets denied, my H1 gets automatically canceled too?

5. While my F1 application will be pending, if I later decide to continue with my current job with current H1B visa, can I cancel the COS to F1?

6. What happens if I get layoff from my current job while my COS to F1 is pending? In my case, my class starts from early September; I apply for COS status in mid April and I get layoff on early May. What will be my status? Can I stay in US at that time frame?

If someone also know any lawyer please let me know.

Thank you.
