Hi everybody,
I have three troublesome questions about immigration rules on an F-1 visa in the United States. I am in the United States on F-1 visa( Study visa) and have earned the Associate degree in Computer Science from Community College. After the graduation, I have applied for Post-OPT which is like getting Work authorization card (EAD) from the government. I just sent the required application documents to the USCIS Phoenix Center last week. So my application is in the processing, and I will get EAD for one year within 90 days.I have three concerns going on in my mind.
The Question No. 1 ) I would like to know if can I get the OPT extension after my first year of EAD card Expires? Because according to the OPT rules, my field is related to STEM. But I am not sure that I could be eligible to get the extension since I have earned the associate degree which is lower in level compared to (Master's or Bachelor's degree). So please contribute your opinions I want to know your views on this subject I am worried about it? My DSO does not much know about OPT or CPT because I am only one international student in the college and the first case to him applying for OPT.
The Question No 2) After OPT period I planned to continue my education and joining four years US Institution and earned Bachelor Degree in DIFFERENT MAJOR WHICH IS BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION THAT IS NOT RELATED TO STEM. After that, I will again apply for OPT. So during that time can I eligible to work in IT companies? Because at that point, I will have Associate in Computer Science and Bachelor in Business Administration.I want to know your views since both the degree I would be earned from the US institution so, in that case, would I get opportunities to work in both field related Computers and Business? And Can I eligible get OPT extension if I had not got on Associate Degree level.
The Question No 3) This is an extraordinary inquisition. I have heard that F-1 holders can be self-employed and can start their own business on OPT but the work should be related to a degree they have earned. My uncle has 5 Franchisee Food Business in the USA so what if I received Bachelor in Business Management and during OPT Can I apply eligible to apply for EB-2 investor visa which is getting Green Card? I have done research on this topic since I am from India I will have to invest more money in the USA. But what if he sells the two stores to me? Is this considered as the investment? Can I apply for EB-2 visa?Please let me know so I can touch base with a qualified immigration attornies.
