Hello Frens,
OPT extension is worse than H1B because you should not be allowed to have unemployed more than 30 days, and if you loose your job you should find another E -Verified company within 30 days. Here is exact word that I got from my international adviser.
If you then become unemployed you only have 30 days during
the STEM period that you can be unemployed. You would have to find another
E-Verify employer before the 30 day limit in order to be in
status.
So, I decided not to extend my OPT....
