回复：h1b got a bounce back for cap

Let us count. Feb has 28 days. March has 31 days. Apr.1st will be the 60th day for the grace period expiring. The best situation is that assum USCIS receive your application on Apr.1st, and generate a receipt immediately, which is too idealistic. I have friend. He filed his H-1B this year. He sent his application by Fedex and got the receiever receipt on the same day. However, the receipt was generated in five days later from USCIS. I believe there was a long queue. And, the pending period starts after the receipt is being generated from USCIS. I do not think it can work out. You may go for another study as an F-1 student.
