Does An H-1B Employee has to change their status if he or she wants to Go Back To College Or Graduate School For Further Study?
An employee in valid H-1B status is allowed to go to school, part-time or full-time, without applying for an F-1. But while the H-1B employee is attending school, he or she has to continue to work for the H-1B sponsoring employer. If the H-1B employee stops to work for her employer, the employee will be out of valid H-1B status and must apply for a different status such as F-1.
