I applied and received I-485 receipt of my marrige-based green card application in early July. My first OPT EAD ends in the first week of Septermber, and the new EAD from my green card application will take up to seven months..
Given this, can I apply STEM OPT extension to continue working during the gap cap of EAD? I am worried if applying STEM OPT extension hampers my green card result as STEM OPT is single intent non-residential visa after I've already requested the adjustment of my status..
The reason of applying STEM extension is financial one. Please help and thank you in advance..
