My employer will file for my H1B in April 2019. I will continue working beyond April until June 2019 on my OPT. Once my OPT expires in June 2019 and the H1B lottery results are still awaited, am I allowed to continue working? (I don't have a stem extension)
Can continue to work after june under cap Gap if your petition was selected in lottery and is being processed. Check with attorney instead of asking random blind folks.
Yeah I'm not depending on advice from this forum. But cap gap was what I was looking for, had heard someone mention that and couldn't remember. And if you don't land the visa, then you have 60 days to leave, right?
Nope. 60 days grace period is for people who are already on H1B.
you can work while waiting for results. but have to exit promptly if you dont get selected
You can’t work. Also you will have to leave the country.
Likely not
So what exactly do folks do during that period of limbo?
