还在念书，现在有个公司可以给我办H-1,用中国的BA DEGREE. 律师说要有个 DEGREE VERIFICATION, 不知道这个到哪里去办？

还有现在是暑假，我打算办加急的H-1.但是如果H-1给拒了,我是不是还是合法的保持我的F-1 STATUS呢？有朋友说，如果交了转H-1的申请，就是CHANGE OF STATUS的申请，如果据了，就OUT OF STATUS了，不知道是不是真的？

另外，下学期可能会有TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIP。如果是H-1的话，这个可以算2ND PART-TIME JOB吧，还用交什么申请材料么？

一头雾水，请大家指点。谢谢

1. ask lawyer
2.2nd part-time H1 needs application too.
3. the lawyer should know how to do the verification, there is a committee or something, mail ur degree etc there or what.

For the second one, only the approval of another status will invalidate the previous one. However, you still have to consult with lawyer or ISO for any possible side effect though.

TA也能是H1，比较少见?这个是mm学校允许的吗，envy呀!
关于change of status的问题，还是多问几个律师吧，我听说你submit
新的身份申请之后，你的status就是新visa pending,而以前那个不知道
还有没效。

如果有h1了，你就不再当学生了，怎么做TA
