buttercup Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have a h1b case pending since Oct 11th. It's still under initial review. My OPT stem is ending next Friday. Can I work during the grace period while waiting for H1B to come? Link to comment
Chitown01 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Talk to your School DSO, mostly CAP GAP should take care off Link to comment
livliv Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Unfortunately not. Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 No. You have to stop working when your OPT runs out. You can not work in the F1 grace period. Link to comment
buttercup Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks for the reply. Can I apply for the cap gap now? I had an impression that it had to be applied before Oct 1st? Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Cap-gap does not apply in your situation. It only applies for H1 applications with a start date of Oct 1 that were filed before Oct. 1. Link to comment
buttercup Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks JoeF. Turn the case into premium today. there is no work around in my case to continue working after expiring. Link to comment
