OPT RFE and approved H1B revoked

 My OPT expired on 05-May-2017 and I had applied for my STEM extension by April last week 2017. 

I had a pending H1B petition(filed on April 2016) which got approved on 10-May-2017 , due to this my SEVIS Status got automatically changed from Active to Completed.

Due to this reason I got RFE from USCIS for my STEM extension request asking me to reach my School DSO to get my SEVIS status corrected back from Completed to Active. 

I have been working with my School’s DSO but she is saying that she’s been in touch with SEVIS Helpdesk and nothing can be done unless they have my H1B approval notice. 

My previous employer has revoked my approved H1B. 

Due to all this I am in a very difficult situation. 

Wanted to seek you expertise and guidance in this regard.

Hi, what happened with your case? I am in a similar situation. slightly different. My opt received a rfe ( i have all the documents but have not replied) i can reply till nov 14th 209. However today october 3rd my h1b counselor processing approved til jan 2020. I contacted my dso and in system it still shows sevis is active. I have to go for stamping but i dont have client letter and  it will be tough to get it cleared. I am thinking of askzing my employer to revoke my h1b. in that case will my initial opt will be approved? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
