What is the name of your state? DE
Thank you for letting you post here first.
I describe my case first. I am in the OPT right now, and the company applied for H1b for me.
Later, due to various reason I got laid off very recently. My H1b got approved already, but it will activated on Oct 1st. Now I get an admission from a University right now, and I am wondering if I can go to school right now. My OPT will expire on Sept 30th. My question is should I apply F1 now, or I only need to get I-20 from school.
Some lawyers told me I only need to get the I-20 and let the company to revoke the H1b before Oct 1st, but some said I must refile F1 even the company revoke the H1b before Oct 1st. If I need to refile F1, which form I should use? I-539 or some else?
I am in the urgent situation, thanks for those who can provide legal advice. Thanks a lot.
Sincerely
