Addenu Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hello my name is Denu, I am on F1 visa and I have an OPT valid till Oct 12, 2017. I applied for H1B this year and picked in the lottery but no update as of today. If H1B is denied I am planning to study in the USA and going to join for the spring 2018 semester. I will transfer my SEVIS in the first week of Oct 2017, and I will get I20 for the semester starting on Jan 2018. My question is that My classes are starting in JAN 2018 but my OPT is expiring on OCT 2017 can I stay legally in the USA without losing status. Link to comment

You can apply and wait for the H-1 decision and then decide what to do. Link to comment
