I plan to enroll in a Day 1 CPT school and my employer is willing to sponsor me H-1B. Can they do that when I’m on CPT?
In short, yes. A company can sponsor anyone, anywhere, as long as they meet the minimum requirements to enter the H-1B lottery.
Yes. Once your H-1B application is approved, your status will automatically change from F-1 to H-1B on the effective date of your H-1B.
