But still OPT Extension was denied, dont know the reason, checked online about the denial. Now i want to know my options.... My opt expired in July, now how many days grace period i have? Pls suggest

You have 60 days grace period to take any action ..your options are depends on what u r current situations ..

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

Options are you can join one more University and go ahead for Masters again
Masters->OPT->Extension->H1->GC->Citizen ship (NORMAL PROCESS)
Joining Masters->Finding Employer who can file H1 based on Bachelors next April->starts next Oct 1->GC->Citizen Ship(Bit Fast)
MS->PHD->GC (Expedite)
Marrying a Green Card holder or citizen Instant
Don't worry about it..Just go on lot of life to live

To join in another university you need to go out of the country and come back with new I20 and new Sevis , new I94 !!

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

hmm not in this case his sevis is not terminated yet ..

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

When someone opt extension got denied , the Sevis will be terminate in one day !! You can confirm with Sevis regarding that !!

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

My opt extn denied on sep 11th and when I called Sevis on sep12th they told me it is in completed status so they asked me leave the country in 30 days !! But I went to Mexico and came back with new Sevis , new I 20 and new I 94 !!

I didn't worked illegally or without status !! I didn't violated any rules of USCIS !!
