Resident Status for AZ CPA License! Help!!!

Hi everyone, I’m applying AZ cpa license. I have passed all 4 section of exam and my ethics/work experience/education are all ready and I’m filling out my application form today. I realized they are asking for my residency status, I’m not a resident at US, I am a non-reside alien, currently under my STEM OPT of F1 visa but my STEM OPT have just two months left and it will expires.
I know the board usually need 4-6 weeks to review applications, if my STEM OPT expired during my license application will the board still continuing review my application or will they decline it? Or if they are reviewing my case and realize my visa is about to expire and I can’t get another visa, will then stop reviewing my application till I get another visa?

Beside panicking and submitting my application asap, is there anything I do right now? Please I want my license!!!!!!!!
