I am graduating in may 2013 and right now I am in the process of filing an OPT application. I want to know about what date I should take as starting of my OPT period as I don't have any offer in my hand. I have heard from people that to get max time for searching a job you should utilize full 60 days grace period and start OPT period from 61st day after the day you graduate.
But recently from some other friends I came to know that it is risky to utilize whole grace period in case if something gets late etc etc. I want to know that is it really risky to use full grace period because of some reason that I am not aware of? what date I should pick? my graduation day is may 23, 2013 and I can pick any date from 24th may to 22nd July as my OPT start date. Please guide. Any other suggestions for this issue are welcome.
