Hi,

Thanks for providing such a wonderful platform for legal advice!

Following is my case:

My H1B 6 year expired on 09/29/09.
I filed for extension using recapturing dates I spent out side the US.
Extension got approved till 12/18/09.

I switched to student visa before 12/18/09 and still on Student visa. (I have CPT but I am not working.)

My labor(PERM) was filed on 04/27/09 and just got approved last week.

I want to switch my status from F1 to H1B.
Based on approved labor (EB2), Could I get H1B extension for a year?

Should I file for I140 and then go for H1B Extension?

My University semester ends on March 27th and before that I would like to file for change of status.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Dipak
