F-1身份持有人在其OPT结束后通常有60天的grace period合法停留在美国。因此,如果
H-1B申请人在其OPT结束后,仍可用这60天弥补其OPT和H-1B之间(10月1日生效)的时间
空隙,但是这段时间内申请人不能工作。如果申请人之前已经用过60天的grace period
,那么就不能再使用这60天的grace period。以下请看我们对有关OPT及H-1B之间空隙
问题的情况分析:
Scenario 1: My OPT expires on August 15. I have not yet used my OPT “
grace period” of 60 days. I have an H1B Approval that takes effect on
October 1. Can I stay in the U.S. during this time? Can I work for my
employer and defer payment until after October 1?
