我的opt-stem是到 June,2019过期,然后到18年1.17是我 150 unemployment days 过期。 所以您的意思是说,即使我到了1.17号还没有找到工作,我也可以留在美国么?我听说如果失业期用完,不管有没有找到工作,都不能再工作并且不能再留在美国了。因为我看到这句话
所以我的理解是,一旦150天失业期满我没有找到工作,我继续呆在美国就不合法了,请问是这样么
-Technically yes because you do not have a legal status(i.e. you are out of status), but your stay during this period (before the OPT I-94 expires) is not counted as unlawful presence unless USCIS send you a letter to remind you to leave US. Thus, you will not be subjected to 3- or 10-year bar if you leave US. So, it is safe for you to go to China to get the H-4 visa to come back if your H-4 application is not approved in US.
Also, USCIS will not know your unemployment until your school put the information into SEVIS.
