Hi,

I did my masters in NPU first semester and transfered to ITU and worked in a local company in CPT  from my first semester related to my Masters domain for about 10/11 months, weekly 30 hours. I have applied for OPT and its been 4 months, I did not receive any reply. I am a bit worried. I asked them a week ago to expedite my process and they told if you dont receive any update in a week, you should consider it will some more time to process the application. The status still shows as Initital Review. I am not sure what would happen.

Most of my friends case are on hold, some of them got query and few of them got their OPT's even though they CPT for few months.

Just planning well ahead what for ever could happen.

1. Can i cancel my pending OPT processing now and go for another Masters in a different university.
2. Can i do one or two semesters and the go for h1b(in regulat quota) next year as it this year's quote is full.
3. What would be my options if my OPT is denied after few more days, will i be out of status.
4. How would my sevis work?

Please advise.

Thanks!
