OPT Extension or apply H1B?

[jkpendyala0607]

My Opt Started on Jan 10 2014 and ends in Jan 2015. I cannot apply H1B until May 2015. But if my OPT Ends in Jan 2015, How to maintain my status till May 2015. I am eligible to STEM extension. But if my OPT Extension is denied, how can I maintain my status till May 2015..? Suggest me a plan
1) Is it better if I apply for my H1 in May 2014 only?
