Hello All,
 
I have applied for OPT 6 months back and It hasn't been approved yet. When I check the status online it shows "Initial Review'. While I was a student,  I worked in "One of the reputed Fortune 500" company for 8 months on CPT. 

I was planning to file H1 this year but my OPT hasn't approved yet. 

Have you guys been in this type of situation before ? What would be my solution ?

Thank you in Advance !!

Genuine suggestions Please !!
