I applied for OPT EAD at the end of December (my 60 days would end on 19th Feb) and unfortunately my OPT EAD got rejected due to some lapse. I had a new I 20 Issued from Columbia University and immediately reapplied. I am still waiting for my denial notice to arrive. After it arrives, I shall attach the supplementary documents to USCIS. Will my OPT get accepted this time? I am a little tensed because of this and have had to postpone my joining because of this. Please advice me on this.

My employer is willing to sponsor me green card in EB2 category.They are trying with Bachelors degree with 5 years of experience, prior joining the company.I have 4 years of Bachelors degree in Computer Science, and also have 5 years of experience in software engineering. But 1 year of that work experience was before I received my Bachelors degree. During that time, I was working full time and attending college as a part time student. So my question is, Will I be able to use this 1 year experience before I received my bachelor degree to count towards 5 years of progressive experience required for EB2 filing? I am worried because only 4 years of my experience is after I gained bachelor degree and 1 year is before that, though all of them was full time job. Please share your thoughts whether I am qualified for EB2 category or not. Thanks in advance.
