NIW or EB1A

Published Sep 28,2017 By PBAB

Hello, I have a PHD in Pharmacy from a reputed university in US. My OPT extension was denied due to a clerical error on I-20. Now that I have few weeks of grace period left, would applying for NIW now count as being in status ?  Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Filing I-140 does not change your status and you can do this at any moment. Filing I-485 together with I-140 would keep you in status even after F1 expires.
