Hi,
Mayakobarima- I was told differently that when u file h1b w/o COS, you can still use OPT period(12 or 17 months).I also looked at threads in murthy.com and found out the same information however I haven't seen anyone claim his OPT extension with h1b approved(but w/o COS). I felt sorry after hearing your case.I am still doubtful on filing h1b w/o COS thing. I agree that w/o a job, its even unlikely to get h1b approved in the first case. What did u do after your school said that your OPT couldn't be extended since u already got your h1b approved? How are u maintaining status? just curious to know the consequences.
Thanks!
