sujithn Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hello I am on STEM OPT currently until OCT 1st, I have an approved H1 but I have lost the project and employer withdrew application on Sep 1st. I am worried now as on OCT 1st H1 would kick in and I would lose my STEM OPT. Is there a way I can apply I-539 form to apply change of status from h1 back to F1 after October 1st ?

gopalakrishnach Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Currently you will be not H1B on Oct 1 since by then your H1B will be revoked. Yours is tricky situtaion since now you cannot get I120 because Fall already started. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 You need to work with your DSO to keep the F1. Once Sevis is closed your OPT is gone. For a new F1 you would have to be enrolled in a new program of study. Quote Link to comment
