Question details
Hello Sir, I was on CPT for a year and a half before my H1b visa was approved last year. After that, I took a break from my studies. Now, I want to visit India, do I need to resume my degree? I'm planning to drop it as it is too expensive. Will there be any issue in stamping as it would be my first H1b stamp. Thanks
From a purely legal perspective, there is no law that requires you to continue with your degree if you have received your H1B approval. However, I am concerned about appearances also. Ideally, people should take up a new educational program only if they are serious about it and that program furthers their career. If you quit, you should have a good, truthful explanation for why you started that degree and why you quit. You may never be called upon to explain yourself, but the USCIS and the consulates could potentially ask about any relevant matter when you appear for an interview.

I would like to thank Khanna's Law office in every stage. Now he helped to cross the first stage. My Federal Labor certified. Even though we are client's to Rajiv, He treats clients as friend and some one very close to him by giving personal care and attention. Also his personnel's are also doing good job particularly Subha(Case Manager). I felt that my case has been taken with close personal care by Subha. You will feel, if you are dealing the case through Subha. I appreciate Subha's immediate response and perfect guidance, by treating us like a family member. I have no words to thank her. Also the follow up by Rajiv's office is excellent. I would like to thank Suman(Supervisor),Bindhiya and Mathew Chacko also in this time. Once again my heartful thanks to Rajiv for bringing my case to this level. I am also least bothered about my next stage, as I have good group of people like Rajiv and Subha with me. I strongly recommend every one to process through Rajiv's Office to get success.
I wish a very Happy and Prosperous New Year for Rajiv and his Team.
