H-1B Receipt and OPT Extension
Login in to Rate this Post:     0       ?        
Hello Friends,

I got the H-1B Receipt notice a week ago, when I check the status of my case online at http://uscis.gov, it says 'Case Received and Pending' . According to the new rule, will I be eligible to work until October 1,2008?  What are the chances of rejecting the H-1b petition after getting the H-1b receipt? My current OPT expires on May 11(after 5 days).

If I file for OPT Extension  which I have to do it before May 11, and if my OPT extension is approved after H-1b approval.. will my H-1b status be overriden by F1 ?

Please reply I am in a dilemma whether to file for the Extension or not. I have a STEM degree and my company is E-Verified.

Thank you very much..
