Hello
My OPT Stem is going to expire in Nov , but my present contract expires in Aug and I have been unable to find a new job as of now. So, as a backup plan, I want to take admission in ITU so that I don't remain unemployed during reminder portion of OPT ( I still have 60 days of unemployment left on Stem OPT). So, I have submitted my application and I am in the process of gathering remaining documents.
1. If I get admission decision by end of July and ITU offers me admission, can I work at my present job till Aug or will OPT Stem automatically get cancelled as soon my I-20 gets transferred rendering me ineligible to work till Aug end ? Any way to make sure that I can work at my present job till it gets over and after that my status changes to student studying at ITU ?
2. ITU requires WES evaluation of the Bachelor transcript. I told them that my university back in India had a GPA system, and I also have a MS degree from US. But they are very insistent on WES evaluation. So I have submitted my docs to WES and they will be able to send documents before deadline of 15th July. But, in case it gets delayed, is there any chance that I can get ITU to drop this requirement ?
3. They also require a new TOEFL score. I told them that I have studied in US for 2 years and then worked in US for 2 years but they again are very insistent on receiving latest TOEFL score. The latest date that I can get now is July 11th and the likelihood of ITU receiving TOEFL score by July 15th is very slim. Any suggestions for this ? I am thinking of submitting LOR from my manager stating that I have excellent English communication skills. My previous TOEFL score (2010) was 116/120
4. Also, if I get admission in ITU , will they generate a new I20 for me or will they transfer the previous I20 sevis to new one ? How do I make sure that they dont screw up this basic thing ?
Looking forward to haring back from the experts.
