Status Issue :::: Expiration of STEMOPT and H1 picked

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I am currently working on OPT Extension which is going to expire on End of August and my H1 picked recently.

Since my status is expiring, Do I need to join the university or apply for cap-gap?

IF I apply for cap-gap, I am going to get it till  November, After that what is my situation?

When would be the best time to apply for university to be on the status? 

If I apply to a university in the month of November, am I going to be on Status and eligible to work?

 

I have received h1 receipt, with that how long can I work and how long I will be on Status?

Thank you,

SAT

Join the university before expiring OPT to be on status all time, I don't go for CAP-GAP.

Per current situations better to look for ONLY education not the DAY 1 CPT.

H1 Receipt is just acknowledgement that USCIS received your request, it does not give you any status. When your petition approved, you will get a copy of approval with dates & i-94.
