    F1 to F2 Status Change Denied
    I filed my status change on my OPT CAP GAP. My OPT expired on 08/31/2008. My H1B has been approved and it was going to start on 10/01/2008. I filed change of status from F1 to F2 on 09/26/2008 as a dependent of my husband. On 01/27/2009 I found that my status change request has been denied. Is there any way I could file it again? I appreciate any suggestion please.
    Thanks

    My H1B was through one consulting company, they could not find job for me. They keep on saying that if there is not job then they would terminate my h1b. Therefore I decided to change my status before actual H1B starts. I guess they terminated my H1B sometime in December 2008.

    You are already out of status so there is no fix to this. Regarding your H-1B, you can sue your employer. When you are selected and H-1B is approved means you have a job waiting, not to seek for job, you must start working by October. Contact an attorney ASAP...

    Does it mean I am illegal now. I did not receive denial letter yet. Could I wait to receive the letter and leave the country?
