My situation is:
- OPT will expire in February
- I already got 85 days unemployed out of 90 days
- I am working under 1099, independent contractor
- Due to the holiday season, I was unable to maintain 20 hours working/week. I tried to sum up my hour of the whole month and average out but that didn't come close to 20hrs/week either.
I know that for the month of January when holiday is over, I will be able to catch up the 20 hours/week rule, but I'm worried about insufficient hour in December.
My question is:
- Should I keep working?
- Could the USCIS track down my hour?
- I am applying to Graduate School in fall 2014. What should I do so that it won't affect my chance to get a new visa and come back to the U.S. Btw, I am planning to leave the State after my OPT expires.
- What is the consequence of this situation?
Many thanks guys.
