Just wanted to bring this thread up. I just received status update email that my NIW I140 has been approved. I was in F1 OPT while I sent my petition and changed to H1B while USCIS received my package. So my understanding is that the outcome of your NIW 140 petition does not depend on your visa status ( F1 or H1). Good luck to everyone who is working on their I140 petition.
