Anlysis needed from your side

How many students stand to benefit from today’s announcement?

• There are approximately 26,000 students on OPT that have earned a bachelor's, master's, or doctorate in a STEM field. ICE and USCIS estimate that approximately 12,000 will take advantage of the STEM extension. Some of these students will be selected for an H-1B to start October 2009. Others may choose to continue their education, while some will depart the United States.
• We estimate another 10,000 students will benefit from the automatic "cap gap" extension.

From the above, 12000 will take advantage means only 14000 will transfer to H1B. Is there any possibilty that students without OPT (about 6000 from above data) get approved H1b?

If there are 'another 10000 with cap gap extension'  and 12000 the regular one, then it will be 22000. Can you make it clear?
