Status while H1B request to reopen a rejected case

[ukn11x]

Hi,

My H1B got denied and my employer has applied for a request to reopen. I have a few questions regarding that. I am currently on my OPT extension and it expires on Feb 8th, 2019( But my F1 visa expires in August 2019). Here are my questions:
1) If my request to reopen doesn't get approved, how long can I stay in USA.
2) If my request to reopen gets approved, But the decision is not finalized, how long can I stay then.
3) If my request to reopen gets approved, But the decision is not finalized and if I have to leave US by feb 8th, will my request be void.

I don't want to discourage you just wanted to share my experience last year Nov 2017 my H1-B denied employer  filed Motion to reopen on Jan 31st till date there is no progress on my status i have been waiting for more than 11 months. Please advice just apply MTR and look for some other option..

Oh God!! This is really crazy. You have been waiting since Jan-2018 for the decision. I hope you really get an answer soon. Have you applied H1 this year?? I submitted MTR+Appeal on 12/19/2018. CSC forwarded to appeals office on 1/4/2019. It’s been 6 months and no updates since then. Planning to submit a service request by the end of this month. As per USCIS, Appeal’s office has to take a decision within 180 days once it’s transferred to them.

I have applied H1 2018 it got picked up later that is also denied, In 2019 applied till date didn't get any reply so my guess it s not picked in lottery
