OPT extention from the date of expiry till oct 1

[laxma]

I saw a guy asking a question in IBDB, the message is as follows:

\"the opt will automatically get extended from the date of expiry till oct 1 (i heard this was recently done by uscis) instead of 2 months gap if a company files h1 for the next quota..any guys know if this is true..\"


Please clarify????

I need it urgently.

I am not asking about the stay in USA in that gap period. I know I can stay in USA once I file H1 for next year quota, till the process gets finalized.

I MA ASKING ABOUT WORKING STATUS . OPT extention , what I mean is can we work as usual with out break, in that period ,if OPT extension is possible.

Still my interview process are going on... for final decision and by the time company\'s start filing H1, it might take one more month OR more thah that.

So I fear that I might not get chance to go for H1 in this year\'s quota. So I will be filing H1 for next year. My OPT ends in mid JULY 2005.

That\'s the reason I am intersted in that post and need to confirm the news.

Some companies aa 2-3 months work ki gap vastundhi kabatti, ippudu OPT meedha teesukovadaniki kuda reluctabt ga unnaru.

VASU please help.
