My h1b petition is already approved and my stem opt application got recently approved. The status on the tracker shows that they produced the ead card but now the case shows as closed on my myUSCIS account, even though the tracker status does not reflect that. Initial opt expires in June. So does that mean I’ll be working on cap gap and they won’t send me the stem opt ead? TC 160k
Same question. But in my case I haven’t applied for OPT STEM yet. I already got H1B approved. Still thinking whether or not I should apply for stem opt.
You probably won’t have to since cap gap os automatically approve once your h1 petition is approved. Just reach out to your DSO and ask what they see on SEVIS
You work for Visa, so you should know that 😉
