Sunny0399 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi, I am currently on my F1 Visa in the last month of my STEM OPT. Last year my H1B was filed and I got a denial due to specialty occupation after an RFE. My company filed for an AAO Appeal and it is been almost 8 months and no response. Meanwhile this year's H1B lottery did not get picked in the first attempt but the portal says Submitted and not rejected, Can I stay in the US until my result for the Appeal is known or should I exit US ? Date USCIS Status April 11 2019 I129 received July 3 RFE Oct 10 I129 Denied Nov 8 Received I290B Notice of Appeal or Motion Nov 20 Sent your I290B to AAO for review April 1,2020 - H1B electronic Registration Process portal says Submitted and remains submitted Until now July 15,2020 - STEM OPT EAD Expires Am i legally allowed to stay if my decision is not known until July 15 ?

User099 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 You should be able to stay while the case is pending. But you should get it confirmed by an attorney who filed your H1. Quote Link to comment
