I am currently in an F1-OPT status and this is my first year. I applied for the H1B this year with my Bachelor's degree, but it didn't get picked. Next year, I will be in the Master's bracket and I am expecting it to get selected eventually in 3 years since I have 3 more tries. My question is if I don't get picked next year and if I want to change job, how would that work? If I am in F1-OPT, can I just leave my current company and start at a new workplace immediately without doing anything? Also, if I get picked for H1B in my current company and if I want to transfer to another company, do I have to wait until October (when the H1b gets valid) and then apply for H1B transfer? It would be great if anyone can answer these two questions. Thanks!
You should consult an immigration lawyer. Or hope to get accurate advice from strangers on the internet (are you feeling lucky?)
