"How about extending my OPT for I fall under STEM?"

Seems strange but one of my friend applied for OPT stem extension (was under stem), got denied and became out of status right from the day he applied for extension.It may be a rare case but this was the thing that i have seen..BTW his company was e-Verified.

"Once approve new one and discard the old one. "

Everest12 is right but bear in mind u simply can't discard the H1b , it has to be revoked.BTW, heard that consultants give the same receipt no to all the people these days without filing the case.Double check with ur consultant and make sure that ur H1b is approved.He/She is liable to give u the Approval notice(if infact it is approved).

Goodluck
