This TPS is relatively new to everyone right now. But if someone gets me the answer for this it would be really helpful.

I am about to finish my masters in December. Was really hoping to get the OPT as i am in STEM. With this TPS, it really kept me in dilemma whether to go for TPS or OPT for around 30 mths.

Options:
TPS: will have sure extension and no fear if there is layoff. But no chances of changing the status to h1 or GC in the future. But laid back life for a while

OPT: Pressured all the time, but chances of H1 and GC in the future. But its like gambling. You may or may not.

My question would be. If TPS discontinues, would i be able to reapply for OPT as post graduation, or do change of status to OPT ?

Thank you if someone is in the same boat and looking for answers on similar situation.
