I came here on F1 visa, and my 3 years of OPT was expiring on 15th February. I however had my H1 application denied, and applied for MTR. Since, I didn't know how much time it might take, I took admission in another university which gave me CPT in January. My H1 got approved on 13th February. I got the approval letter and it says the change of status is approved. However, my university says that my SEVIS is still active. What do I do here?

Original STEM-OPT expiring: 15th Feb

New university admission: Jan 1st week

H1 approved: 13th Feb.

Your H1 seems to be approved in error and will very likely be revoked eventually because the CPT was illegal. You only have 1 year of OPT (plus STEM OPT if applicable) per educational level. Once you have used OPT, tou can only get Practical Training for a higher educational level.
