What to do if the filing of H1B visas occur in April, while most bachelor degree graduations occur in May?
Would int’l students only be able to file for an H1B visa after they receive their diploma (after May graduation date) or can they file for the H1B in April 1 regardless (and just say that he/she will be graduating in May)? Would it be advantageous for the int’l student to graduate in December – they would have received the full bachelor degree/diploma by January, and would be able to apply in April 1, with no qualms regarding their graduation status. Or in terms of applying for the H1b, is a December graduation/May graduation practically no different?
