Can I apply for H1b in April when my expiration date of OPT is in Feb and I applied for extension in Jan

My OPT is about to expire in Feb and I applied for the extension in Jan. My extension status is in pending. Can I apply for H1b in April of the same year? Please suggest me.

You should get your extension by April and definitely can apply for H1B in April 2017.

Hey,

What was the outcome of this? I am in the same situation.
