What could be the reason for my OPT denial?
Hello Friends,


today I got an email from USCIS stating that my OPT has been denied, they send me letter stating the reason for the denial. the letter havent got yet. 
My question here is that, what could be the reason for denial and what are the steps I can take to extend my stay in US.

Thanks.

Have you ever done OPT before for the level of study that you are completing? Have you applied for working outside the campus during your status as full time student for 20 hours a week? Have you kept all the time your status as F-1? Have you ever used your social security for work without permision? Those are some of the things that come to mind. I would wait and see what they say and talk about it with your school's international advisor.

The only thing that is that you may be able to do is to apply to another school for another degree such from undergrad to masters and so on. Let us know.
