f1 reinstatement
F1 Reinstatement
Hello Community. I need help regarding my f1 reinstatement I’m studying at umbc.
During my last semester I have failed one course and couldn’t apply for course extension as the course end date was passed.
My dso has recommended to take reinstatement of f1 visa to complete my degree.
My employer is willing to file h1b for me. As the reinstatement decision takes up to an year What are my options to stay in usa.
As taking a consular h1b will mean I have to go India to get it stamped which would mean reinstatement abandonment and I will accrue unlawful days. #F1 #F1reinstatement #h1b #reinstatement #traveltoreentry

As far as I know, if you’re in the states, and your company sponsors you with H1B, you’d also need to make adjustments of your status. Once that’s approved and status changed to H1B, you don’t have to go back to get the visa stamped immediately, you only have to do so if you ever leave the United States. Your change of status approval letter will considered same as visa. Only that visa is for entering into the country. If your status is approved, you don’t need to have a “visa” because you’re already in here. Unless they’ve changed that policy.
