What will be my OPT status after H1B approved and COS denied...?

[swathisfantasy]

Hi Friends,

 

Please help me out.

 

April 1st 2014 - Applied H1B while am on CPT.

April 30th 2014  - CPT ended

June 23rd 2014 - OPT approved ( OPT ends on June 22nd 2015)

Aug 6th 2014 - Received my status from USCIS - H1B approved and COS denied. 

 

Reason: "USCIS has determined that the record does not meet the preponderance of evidence standard demonstrating that the beneficiary maintained his F-1 status because he was not enrolled in a CPT program that was in accoedance with 8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)."

 

I got confirmation from my DSO on Aug 23rd 2014 that my OPT is still active now.

 

My questions are:

 

1. What will be my status after September 30th? Is my OPT active till June 22nd 2015?

 

2. Do I need to go for stamping immediately? or do I have time till my OPT expires that is June 22nd 2015?

 

3. Can I use my OPT now and go for H1B stamping later (before my OPT expires)?

 

4. What are my options?

 

I would really appreciate for the response.

 

 

Thanks,

Swathi

If USCIS gave that reason for COS denial then you need to talk to a good attorney.

You have abused F1 and you have killed your career in US. Your H1 is in trouble bcos of CPT abuse.
