Cap-gap or stem-opt extension

[tareddy0523]

I am in Initial OPT. It will be over on July 5th. My employer has applied for H-1 B this year and got picked up in lottery. Even though my H-1B is in processing i want to apply for STEM-EXTENSION to be in safer side. Can i apply for STEM-OPT extension. Will it affect my H-1 B processing, if i apply for STEM-extension now.
Please let me know if any gone through this situation. Thanks in advance.

1. Yes you should apply for stem OPT. Picking in lottery doesn't mean that its aproved. Apply for stem extension to be on safer side. 2. It doesn't effect H1B

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

1.yes 2.no

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

Yes you can apply for your OPT Ext. However, though I'm not sure i heard if you take Cap-Gap for the remainder of your period you are not eligible to apply for your OPT ext. So be sure not to apply for Cap-Gap.
