  • Travel on OPT while H1B under 221g

    Hi,
    I received my H1B notice which states my H1B is valid from 10/01/2011 until 2014 and I traveled to India in December. Here, I went for my H1B visa interview, where I was given a pink 221g slip.

    It's been 10 months now, and I'm still waiting for my visa.

    Now, even though I have an expired EAD, i'm still within the EAD extension timeline, and I work for a STEM approved employer. Now, here's my questions :

    1. Can I apply for an EAD extension now, considering it's been a couple of months since it expired?
    2. Can I enter the US under my F1/OPT visa instead, hoping (1) is doable? This would be while my H1B is still under 221g.

    My employer seems to be getting impatient now, and I'm getting worried.

    Thanks
    Sahil
