Hello, I am a STEM student and I already graduated with my degree (March 31, 2014). I am doing post completion OPT for one year and it started May this year. However, am planning to apply for an extension. I want to be on top of things so I was wondering,
1- Are there any special circumstances to make me eligible or ineligible for OPT extension?
2- What do I need to apply for the extension? (fees, documents, deadlines etc I should know about before hand)
3- I tried looking up jobs/internships On the desiopt.com website but it seems almost every job is in IT. Is there something in art and design? I may be doing something wrong, any pointers?
4- I understand OPT has to be in a field related to your studies, can I use my card to work in a field not related to my studies if am being paid cash under the table?
5- The USCIS No. on my card, does that work as my social or what?
6- I had been issued a temporary social by the school during my study, is this of any use to me right now?
thank you.
