I'm on an F1 visa doing a PhD program that is designed for professionals. If I get a chance to pursue an H1B visa, can I switch and still continue doing my program? Thank you for your time!
The H1B is specifically a work visa. You need an employer to sponsor you in order to get into the lottery, but it places no restrictions on education you might attain while you have it.
Basically, yes you can continue doing your program, but your sponsoring employer might not be happy with you.
