Stat

I also had the same question wheather we need 1 yr. experience in H1 B or my OPT time will also count. when I emailed immigration people this is what I got reply back

Yes you will be eligible. You just need to provide us with a copy of your F1 visa and your OPT, so we can use that as evidence for your one year legal US experience/status. As well, a employment letter/job description from your OPT will assist us in assessing your application.
