Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois

Although you should be asking these questions to the Attorney who filed the H-1B on behalf of your prospective H-1B employer, I can tell you that you are covered by the "cap-gap" & can remain here legally. However, since your OPT expired in January & your extension was denied, you should not be working, The DSO at your school, as well as your prospective employer's Attorney, should have discussed this with you. If not, I highly recommend that you speak with them both at this time.
