Previous years, students on OPT STEM were eligible for CAP GAP extension, wonder if it is still possible under the new change.

    Submitted is as good as rejected with a alarm clock. So it shouldn’t help with cap gap

      Yes, true but with the current situation, cap gap would have helped since I'm pretty much stranded here until I'm able to travel back to my home country.

      You think someone sitting in White House cares about what helps you right now? Vs what helps them win the next election? Unfortunately, that’s the truth here

  • Have you filed H1 ? Or you aren’t selected in H1 ?

      Not to be rude but with 140k people in wait list I believe u should probably accept the reality by now. I did it the day I read the number of applications this year.

      Sorry for misleading, I did accept the reality when I got the result. Just being technical here.

    Dude if you're not picked then convincing yourself with "Waitlist" doesn't help. Work on other options and hope things turn better.
