Pzau Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I filed for my OPT extension about 2 months back...then my employer decided to file for H1B. The problem is that my H1B got approved before my OPT renewal came through. Now I have an H1B approved receipt and a renewed EAD card. Should I be worried? If so, what needs to be done to cancel my EAD and have the H1B valid. Thanks! Link to comment
Worker11 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Now you are no longer F1 (OPT) non-immigrant stud. Now you are H1B non immigrant worker. Make sure to be prepared to file I-140, if you want to become permanent resident. Link to comment
Joe.F Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 OPT is part of the F1, it is not a status on its own. From the start date of the H1, you are no longer on F1, and your OPT will be invalid from that date on. Link to comment
