Filing for Spouse who is on OPT (post F-1 graduation) but no job

[AsyleeTravel]

Hi all,

Another confusing area on all of the forms is my wife's status. She graduated last summer and had OPT approved for a year (F-1 visa stamp is expired). Of course with the current economic conditions she has had no luck finding a job!

I would really appreciate your help with a few Qs:
* Current Status? F-1 or OPT?
* Current Occupation and Employer ?
* Date Arrived? (She has traveled abroad on F-1 mutiple times... would this be last arrival?)
* Which I-94 # to use? Last One? and D/S for OPT as well?
* On I-765, does she put in her OPT EAD info Result as GRANTED? and is this an Application for Renewal of EAD or a New Application?
* I-131 Class of Admission: F-1 or OPT ?


Thanks for all the help as always!

Current Occupation and Employer ?

Student.

On I-765, does she put in her OPT EAD info Result as GRANTED?

if it asks about previous EADs - yes, granted.

and is this an Application for Renewal of EAD or a New Application?

it is a new application.

Remember: OPT is not a status. Her status has been and remains F-1.
