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?
