RFE Responded but let's say stem EAD is denied

[hariyadavalli]

Hello,

My Initial OPT expires this April-15-2013 and I applied for my Stem OPT I-20 and I applied for stem EAD and got RFE for proof of employment during my inital OPT period.

I've submitted my proofs but in case my stem EAD gets denied and my H1B is filed by April-1st.

Do I need to apply for another I-20 from my college in order to work from april-15 or the stem I-20 will suffice?

Any answer will be helpful.

Regards,

Hari

If your OPT ext is rejected then you cannot work from that day. And you have to leave the country since you have no legal status if ext is rejected.

Applying for another I20 won't work in your case.

Even if my H1B is filed by this April-1st?

Hi Hariyadavalli,

Can you tell what was your RFE about in detail?

Thanks
