impact of EB2 NIW on future applications

[feyvazi]

Currently, I am on F1 and I am planning on appyling for EB2-NIW. I have a few questions. I will file I-140 and I-485 separately. Suppose my I-140 is denied:

1- Can I extend my I-20 later?

2- Will my OPT application be approved after my graduation?

3- Can I change my status from F1 to J1 after graduation?

4- Does it affect any of my future I-485 applications?

5- Can I change my status to H1B directly from F1?

I have looked into your post and consulted my personal database but I am afraid i don't find any answer. So I suggest you should consult any immigration expert and give him all the details. I am sure you will find your answers.

With Form I-140 denial and not filed the Form I-485, you may have diffficult to extend the I-20, but you should get OPT application approval.

It also will not affect your future I-140 application or I-485 application. see http://www.greencardapply.com/question/question07/question07_0501.htm
