Question
1. As per RFE, I need to submit completion of all elements of master degree program. However I do not have graduation certificate since I am repeating thesis subject.
So what are my options?
Option 1: Submit RFE response with transcript and DSO letter ?
Option 2: Request DSO to withdraw OPT application if possible.
As per my current SEVIS records program end date is 16-Dec-2016 so almost near to complete 60 days period.
