H1B in pending status (Case received with receipt number) but employer termination!
Hi
I am on OPT status till sept 1 2016 and my employer filed for my H1B this April and it has been picked. My SEVIS status now says H1B pending, but my employer terminated me yesterday. What will be my options now?
1. Should I request the ex employer to withdraw the petition and find another employer who is willing to file for my STEM extension ? If this is the case, how much processing time does USCIS take to withdraw the application?
2. In case my H1B is in approved status, will I still be eligible for OPT STEM?
Please please advise!
