If you are not eligible for STEM extension then what D1 said above.
EY 1 not STEM eligible, cant believe it takes 5-6 months to process
Have heard from a lot of people that they got their approval in September last week of last year, so don’t worry too much. It’s a lot of hassle to take the leave and come back, it’s like rehiring.
delloitte OP -- you on Cap gap?
Cap gap is when your OPT expires before you get your H-1B approval. It essentially allows you to work between April 1st (or whenever OPT expires) and September 30th.

I don't think we get paid on LOA
What if my OPT is ending in end of October, do I still need to do LOA?
^nope. As long as your H1B gets approved by then
Damn! Premium suspended until February! :( very likely going into leave without pay now
