Hi,
My present OPT is about to expire in a week's time. In the meanwhile, I had applied for STEM extension on my OPT for another 17 months. I am currently working full time. USCIS has updated my case information online to indicate that they have sent me a mail for "Request for Evidence". Its been updated a week back but I have received no such mail. They've also mentioned that "This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address."
Does this mean that I should continue to wait for the mail and continue working even after my current OPT expires? Or should I stop working once my present OPT expires?
BTW I am also in the process of applying for H1B. However my employer is delaying the process. If I have to stop working, can I begin working as soon as my H1B is filed?
I am confused.
