Hello,
My OPT got approved yesterday but I failed to graduate. I was enrolled part-time as I only had 6 credits to complete. Unfortunately I received a D grade in one of the subjects.
According to the rules on ice.gov, a student under such circumstances can work part time on OPT while completing the course work. Once the course work is finished, the student may start working full-time. I only have 2 credits left and I can easily complete this next semester while working part-time.
My question is, if I start working part-time, will I still be eligible to apply for the STEM extension? No point related to this is mentioned in the policy document. Also, since I was enrolled part time for the fall 2013 semester, will I need to register full time next sem or can I register for the required amount of credits I need to graduate?
Also, has anyone been in such a situation before? If yes, can you please share your experience and give me some advice.
Thanks in advance
