Opt F1 visa expired

[EAD2009]

Hi Every one,

I'm on OPT right now ,i'm done with my masters in DEC 2007.

My visa Stamp in my passport was only untill april 2008(I got F1 stamped only for 24 months), now i'm on OPT extension.I applied H1B in 2008 and got RFE my employer could not answer the RFE and revoked my petition.

I did't apply in 2009 even i have chance to apply(because of the JOB fear ) i got my OPT extension approved ,my OPT extension is going to end in June 2010 , any way i will be applying H1B in 2010.

My question is if i don't get H1B in 2010 ,my plan i to take CPT and search for jobs ,does it effects my future immigration any way.

Thanks in advance for every one.

Hmm ... Are you still enrolled in your school as a student in good standing? AFAIK, you can avail CPT only during your study period, not after it.
