QUESTION:
Please let me ask, can I ask the Department of Immigration to let me change my current visa status from H-1B to OPT? I came to the US on an F1 visa to pursue a doctorate in computer engineering. After I completed all the degree requirements except the thesis, my employer hired me as a lecturer and changed my F1 visa status to H1B but only for one year as per the deadline. of the contract. The school then informed me that my SEVIS F1 record had been terminated. Now, that my contract is about to expire, can I apply for an OPT visa? Sincere thanks to My Viet newspaper.

ANSWER:
Dear Mr. Kha, according to your description, your contract is about to expire and you want to change your position; But according to immigration law, OPT status is only for F-1 international students. However, in your case, you can apply to reinstate the F1 visa, and then reapply for OPT. You cannot apply to change from your current H-1B to OPT. Good luck to you.
