moak091 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 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. Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 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. Link to comment
