Hi Everyone,
I came to US on F-1 status in 2013 and graduated in 2015. My OPT started in May 2015 and I was working from the day I got EAD. I applied for 17 month STEM extension in March 2016 as i'm getting close to end date of initial OPT which is MAY 14, 2016 . As my application was still pending by May 10, I received RFE asking to send documentation for 24 month extension. I responded back to my RFE with requested documents. But, I received a denial letter today. My OPT expired on May 20, 2016 which means I already used my 60 day grace period after my EAD expired. I was not aware of 60 day grace period before. Can some one please let me know the options for legal stay in USA?
I am applying for another Masters degree in a university. But will new university provide i-20 when my sevis is complete even if my F-1 didn't expired. Please help me. I am afraid if this becomes problem for my H1 as I'm out of status now.
