Hello,
First, thank you very much for all the information you have made available regarding visa issues. Here's my problem -
I have been on full time OPT since July last year and have been working for 20 hours per week on paid employment. I thought that to remain in status, I needed to work for minimum 20 hours. But the Office of International Students and Scholars at my university has just informed me that I need to work for MORE THAN 20 hours per week on paid employment to maintain status. I was hoping you could tell me if that is correct. Also, if someone could send me the official link to the USCIS website which gives details of the required hours for full-time OPT, your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
