In the first lottery, my application wasn't selected but I am hoping that this year there will be another lottery.

Hi Team,

I am on F1-OPT (Non-STEM), which is ending in Feb 2018. My H1B was filed in April 2017, and I am still waiting for the decision from USCIS on RFE response. Am I eligible to get F1 OPT cap-gap extension until there is a decision on H1B application?

Kindly suggest...
