  • STEM Expiring soon.. need help.

    Hello everyone.

    My STEM extension is expiring on Feb 14th, 2016. My current employer has agreed to file for h1b in 2016 only if I can continue working for them after Feb 14th. I would like to know about my options here.

    Somebody told me about Day 1 CPT universities. I came to know about one such university named Globe University. Their classes start on Feb 15th
    for their MSM program and they would grant me CPT from Day 1. However, I am little reluctant about taking this route due to the recent news about Indian students being deported from such universities. I would like to know if I can rely on this university. In addition, they said that I will have to attend classes on every saturday. I would like to know how strict they are about this.

    One last question. Let's assume I start Globe university from Feb 15th and have my employer file h1b on Apr 1st. Can I drop out from this univeristy once my h1 has been applied/ Will I be eligible for h1b CAP Gap ?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

        1. Joining any institution that has CPT from day one is risky, and you should proceed with extreme caution.
        2. Withdrawing after H-1B approval will make it obvious you had no real intent in completing the courses at that school and only wanted the CPT. Also, CPT is not covered by Cap Gap. You will need to remain enrolled until October 1.

            As far as i know, the university has good accreditation. You will be eligible for cap gap only if your opt expires on or after april 01. So, you are not eligible for cap gap.
