Can we apply for change of status after OPT extension denied?

Hello sir,
I understand we'll have 60 days after OPT extension denied. During that time, can we apply for change of status (to F2)?
I will sincerely appreciate your response on this.
Many thanks,

If your extension is denied, you have 60 days from your denial date to do the following:
1. Join a school and get a new I20 issued. Your classes do not have to start in that 60 day peroid, but can start within 5 months from the day your 60 day peroid ends.
2. You can file for mtr, which is basically a motion to reconsider. Not sure, how that works though.
Again, I am not an attorney, so please try to confirm with your attorney.

Please make sure to come back and update. Cheers.

STEM extension denied, OPT expired 3 months back
Hi ,I came to USA in dec 2009 on a student visa to a ABC University. I finished my Masters in May 2012 and applied for OPT.
My OPT was going to expire June 24th 2013 and so I applied for STEM extension in March last week so that USCIS recieved my packet on April 1,2013. June 3, 2013 I got a letter stating RFE for complete employment history right from day 1 of my OPT approval.
My employer decided to take the help of an attorney for the filing of RFE where the attorney addressed with my timesheets, training schedule, roles learnt, certification I recieved and also the pay stub when I started
working. The packet was recieved by USCIS on AUG 16,2013 and sept 4th 2013, it was updated on the USCIS website that a denial notice was sent, which I have not recieved yet. After reading a few blogs etc I came to know about
something called grace period and as per them I am out of status as the grace period completed 60 days after my OPT expiry (i.e Aug 24th 2013) which I was totally unaware of before.I have a valid visa till Nov 2014. I have never violated the F1 status ever before. I applied to a new school ([B] university) immediately and they said I would be getting a new I-20 soon. What are the chances I ll re-enter without a problem and within 2-3days?

Case 1:- My OPT is going to finish on this may 10th 2016, I don't have extension as i am from MBA i will have only 1 year OPT and i am not eligible for extension. In this case i have applied for H1 but result was not yet reveled so i am thinking to join in any coll and want to do MS. As i am done with my OPT previously do i get OPT again ?

Case 2:- Do i also get extension as i havent taken it previously.

CASE 3:- I came with bridge cource i.e 1 year in india and 1 year in abroad program so for this no need to write any GRE or TOFEL so when i am appling for new university do they ask any GRE or ielts score. As i dont have i need to write any exam here.

I also need to apply for admission. Can you please tell me the school's name you applied for? Thank you!

Hi, I got an RFE asking complete employment history for OPT STEM extension on June 3rd 2013 and opt expired June 24th 2013. My attorney addressed the RFE on my behalf with all the timesheets, certificates received during the 12months and my pay stubs in august. I came to know about STEM denial 3days back and I do not know the reason yet. I was unaware of the 60days grace period before my denial status. My DSO said my SEVIS is complete, what does that mean? I still have a valid visa till end of next year. I am trying to get an admission into a univ now and probably I will get an I-20 next week. What are my options for legal stay in USA? I am terrified . please help me. No one is telling me my options clearly. Anyone who had this problem or know abt this prob, please take time and respond, I will be so grateful to you. Pls

Hi, Can you please help me provide the name of the school you took admission into? I have the same issue and wanted a list of universities that I can apply in to save my status. Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi, I'm in same situation. Let me know if u have updates

[juanpatarroyo]

Hi,

My name is Juan and I wanted to ask you for an advice on my OPT situation. I am an Electrical Engineer, I graduated from the University of Puerto Rico on Master's in Electrical Engineering. I have been working for a year in Puerto Rico under my OPT, which expired on June 12th. I sent all the documents for the OPT extension in April of this year, a month ago I received a RFE which I filled with all the information they asked me about. Yesterday I checked the status and it says that my I-765 has been denied and they will send me a letter with all the information.

My situation right now is that i'm working on the company. Before receiving the denial, I was planning to return to get a PhD degree on August and I only need to work for 3 weeks more before starting the university. I know that i'm inside the 60-day grace period and I could ask for an appeal caller MTR. However, I'm not sure if i'm able to keep working if I do the appeal work. If I cannot keep working, since when it is supposed I should quit on the company?. Please help me, I'm worried about screwing my Visa when I renew it next year.

Thank you so much for your help

Did you filled I-983?

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

If it is denied, u can apply for mtr but u cant keep working during the mtr process. As you want to go back to school soon, i would suggest stop working asap or when u receive the letter. You dont want to jeapordize your visa status for just a few days of work so stop it asap.
