Immigration AttorneyHopefully, the I-526 petition will not affect your OPT extension at all. It is always tricky when applying for a new nonimmigrant visa or status (or an extension) after you have indicated your immigrant intent by filing an immigrant petition. Of course, you must truthfully and completely fill out all forms and applications, but there are many instances in which nonimmigrant status can be maintained while waiting for an immigrant petition. Should you receive a request for evidence on this issue, you should consult with an experienced immigration attorney before responding.
