This is not a kind of a question that can be answered without review of the entire record. In general, if there was no fraud in the process and you ended up in the circumstances you are in, then you have nothing to do but to explain the circumstances and hope for the better.

Can my stepfather petition me?

Stephen Arnold Black
Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
It appears that if dad married mom before your 18th birthday, he could petition for you. However as you are now an adult and married, your case would fall into a family preference category and not the immediate relative category. This means that there would be a lengthy waiting period before you could immigrate to the US. You can find out the waiting period by going to the department of state website and look to the cases that the DOS is currently processing in your specific category. Good luck.

I what was the best/safe route to take on opt extension or h1b?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Where an individual has an H-1B filed on his or her behalf which states that the petition is for consular processing and not for change of status, the cap gap extension does not apply. Your college was wrong in informing you otherwise. It would not appear to be contrary to the rules for you to request a STEM extension under your circumstances. If the H-1B is approved and the petition was marked for consular processing, you would not receive a change of status. For the H-1B to go into effect, you would have to go outside the US for a visa interview and stamping. While cap gap extension should technically not apply in your case, a valid one will continue to be valid during the course of an RFE response up to the ending date of every cap gap extension, September 30.
