Q: I have changed my status from an F-1 to an H1B visa on US soil. Do I have to be out outside the US to renew my visa?
I had an f1 visa on my passport and I do not have an h1b visa stamped on my passport, however, i got a legal status for a h1b last October (2021). I wanted to enter my visa and was hoping that this would allow me to travel internationally, however my visa on my passport is still an F1.
A: Immediately advise your assigned immigration attorney retained by the sponsoring company.
