Hi marulez, I think you have applied for the extension. I am on extension and I wanted to ask you about your job. Are you employed or did extension through a consultancy. I have also started a new thread on " Payroll during OPT extension". If you can go through that and give some suggestions. If you are also in same boat as mine, that might be helpful for you too.'
