My STEM OPT was approved through July 2021. My H1B was selected in this year’s lottery, but it was just denied. Can I keep working based on my STEM OPT?

Answer

Normally, an H1B change-of-status denial would have no impact on one’s current status or eligibility to continue working in STEM OPT. (30.Oct.2019)
