I believe my Attorneys made my petition with consular notification; I am not sure if the Change of Status was denied (have reached out to them asking why). Anyway, my petition got approved mid-December after an R.F.E was issued. I got the I-797B Notice of Action, unlike the typical I-797A which includes I-94, this form, as I understand, is typically issued to people in India and moving to work in the USA. I am currently on my STEM OPT which expires in Feb 2019. My HR stated that I could ‘activate’ my H1B anytime before the OPT expires. My predicament has left me slightly confused, and I am curious to know if some of you good people faced similar circumstances, and learn from your actions and outcomes?
