Hi there,

If OPT start date is OCT 1st 2008 and what happens on Jan 2009 if he /she doesn't get employed? Will the OPT expire and will not be allowed to work anymore?


This is really a confusion for every one else it seems

Thanks
Sri
 
Hi Concerned4us,

I need some suggestion from u. Kindly reply.

I was approved for my OPT on February 2008 for a duraion of one year. At that time, I was allowed to stay in US for 1 year while looking for job. On April, 2008, a new regulation came according to which a student on OPT can not stay in US without job for more than 90 days. I was not aware of this rule until end of september 2008. Now I have applied for dependent visa. My worry is that unknowingly I stayed for around 6 month without job when I was actually allowed for only three month. I am worried that is this mistake going to affect my new visa approval? Is there anyway I can explain USCIS that it happened because I was not informed about this rule and I did not come across it.
