If I’m near making out 6-year H1B, I go get MBA on F1. Will that reset the 6-year clock? Or I still have to be out of the country for a year?

after 6 years ...your h1b is over...only way is to go through lottery again after 1 year cooling period outside us

like

you have to leave atleast a week so not to max out.

1. If you have used up 6 years, you have to go through the lottery again.
2. Check if you spent time outside the US while on H-1B. You can get that time "recaptured" through an extension petition.
3. If you have an approved I-140, you have unlimited H-1B extensions. All that is required is that you have been through the lottery once.

No, the first person already answered this question. It doesn’t reset the six year limit but if you get on F1 at start of your sixth year and then after two years you convert back to h1, you will have one year remaining.

Feeling completely uninspired by my current career choice (transaction consulting, 3 years post MBA). It obviously pays well, but I feel there must be something more meaningful out there.
