abhipad14 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi, I did my Bachelors and Master in Mechanical Engineering and I want to work in software industry. I am currently in OPT. Will this lead to denial of my H1B and OPT-STEM Extension because my work and filed of study are different even though both fields fall under STEM. Link to comment
jairichi Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Your understanding is correct. Link to comment
jairichi Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 If you are currently working in software industry your current OPT is also invalid. Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 With OPT, you have to work in your field of study. Are you doing that? Also, you can not get an H1 for work in the software industry with your degree. You would have to have a CS-related degree for that. Link to comment
