Hello Desi OPT,
I've recently filed my OPT STEM Extension application(Texas Service Center) and have some questions. I've unemployment period of around 180 days(including weekends). My OPT start date was Jan-23-2013. I've initially joined a consultancy on March-14 and updated my employer details to University. But I didn't fill any paperwork(I-2, W-2 etc.,) with my employer as didn't have a job. I got a full time job in another company on 1-Aug, so took it (as my consultancy was unable to find a job for me). My 12-month OPT is due to expire on Jan-22-2014. I've applied for OPT STEM Extension on Dec-5-2013. It's current status is Under Initial Review. As I didn't have any documents from my previous employer(consultancy), I just submitted the info about my current employer. Now I am worried about getting an RFE.
1. What are my chances of getting RFE and if I do, what actions need to be taken like documents needed to support my case and/or hiring an attorney etc.,( I don't have any docs from my previous employer except an offer letter). Please let me know so that I can be prepared with those docs.
2. Also, please let me know, if I can continue working after my 12-month OPT has expired and my case is still pending ( like having RFE on my application.)
THANKS A LOT
