I am asking this question for my friend. Gurus, please help.
My friend will graduate with his master degree in the middle of this month. He applied another school and got accepted. Meanwhile, he is looking for a job. He applied OPT which will start in June.
However, the clerk in ISO office in his school told him that if he transferred to another school for Ph.D, his OPT will become invalidated right away. Is it true? At the time I graduated, my other friend quitted his Ph.D. after three months he started to work with his OPT from the previous degree.
I don't really believe what ISO told him, but since SEVIS is a new system, there might have some new rules.
