hello, i wanted to know a few details about pre opt.
Im a student and I dont qualify for CPT because my department needs a 3.5 gpa for CPT. But due to some financial reasons, I have to work. So do I decided to apply for a pre OPT. My concerns are
1) If i apply for PRE OPT, will the time be deducted from my POST OPT?
2) If yes, then will I be eligible for 17 months STEM extension after my masters on my remaining OPT months?
3) I read that I wont be eligible for CAP GAP, can you tell me what it is?
4) If there is any other way I can work, what will that be?
5) Finally I wanted to know if I will be having any problems after my masters, if i go for PRE OPT now.
Thank you very much
