I am currently doing Masters and am done with the course work. I haven't defended and graduated yet. I am going to work on CPT from June 2010 till Dec 2010. Was planning to start the OPT from Dec 2010 which means I can apply somewhere around Aug 2010.
The company already processed H1B with my bachelors degree without change of status. Because of this, even though my H1B gets approved by July 2010, it wont be active till I leave for my home country and get the stamping done.
In this scenario, Can I apply for OPT in Aug 2010 even though I have a H1B approved in Jul 2010?
Please help me out from this confusion..
Thanks
