有了cap gap以后不能申请opt extension？

交钱升级PP，6.19前，肯定出结果了

同问这个问题 H1b已经知道抽中了 但不知道有没有approve  这种情况下只能拿Cap Gap I20  吗？不能再申请24个月ext了吗？cap gap是不是就有效到今年10月1号 ？ 万一H1b没有approve  是不是就要离境了…… 求解答…… 急 %>_<%

My situation is kind of a reserve of your case but similar. I applied my STEM OPT extension in late March and my H-1B got selected in April. My current OPT card will be expired on June 14th.
I asked my school's visa office for a new cap-gap I-20 but my advisor said he can't provide one. Below is his response:

"The cap-gap option becomes available at the end of an OPT period, but your OPT period has been automatically extended by the application for the STEM extension."

But I think if your current EAD is not expired, it means your cap-gap OPT extension is not started yet. You still may be able to apply for a STEM OPT extension.
