My husband is on STEM-OPT which expires in May 2023. He has a last attempt on his H1B next year (or any of the additional chances this year).
In the event his H1B does not come through, what are his options to stay in the country and work? Are there any?
My PERM application is under way but won’t be completed/approved till Aug 2024. So H4 EAD is not an option. We can apply for his H4 but that won’t let him work.

I believe a lot of folks try Day 1 CPT. That is one option you could explore.

The PERM is an option based on your COB. But based on your statements, it seems an unlikely possibility.

Day 1 CPT is so risky! I never recommend.

What are both of your COBs? What industry is he in?

D1 — EY said India above
