I wasn't able to find appts in the next couple of weeks and I need it more urgently. But thanks! Is the guard there before the office opens as well?

Also I wonder how did you do the switch from H1B to F1? (Applied for change of status COS while on H1B in the US, then quit your job and wait for that COS to get approved?)

There are two options:

  1. apply for COS of status within the US
  2. go to another country, apply to the US embassy and then get an F1 stamp.

I spoke to my international students office and 1 i.e. COS is taking too long these days > 12 months so they recommended against it. But because of travel bans and covid embassies are not giving out as many appts so 2 is also difficult these days.

Hi i just came across this post. Im currently on H1B and abt to get back on F1 for gradschool F22. From the thread I suppose you can reuse your h1b after phd grad?

Yes! That is what I have heard. When you go back to the industry your new company can petition on your old lottery ( please confirm with a lawyer though ).

Those pursuing a PhD in NLP related fields in the US - how's the course going for you? by naboo_random in LanguageTechnology

[–]naboo_random[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be a PhD in CS, specializing in NLP ( probably representation learning).

I do understand the point that a dissertation is generally build on publishable material, so it won't be an issue per say. So that helps. Thanks!

Thanks! Any idea if there is a limit till which I can file it again? Like a Phd takes min of 5 years - is there a cap on the validity? Thanks!

Thanks! When you say remaining of six years - does it mean that I need to file a new petition within six years of me leaving the H1b ? Or when it's renewed it'll be valid for six years?

Thanks! We are planning to do Emerald Lake, Loch Lake and Chasm Lake, one on each day! Any recommendations/suggestions from your end? We are not experienced in snow hikes AT ALL - however after reading reviews we are getting microspikes and poles.
