Dr. William:

I am a international student with F visa in Boston, I want to know when I can apply for H-1B visa to work for a company after my graduation on December?

A:
You can apply for H-1B status at any time as long as there is an employer who is willing to sponsor you for the H-1B visa, and you are qualified for the position offered. As an international student with F visa, you may also first apply for Practical Training, then ask your employer  to sponsor you for the H-1B visa application,
