JoeF Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 OPT is part of the F1, so you are still in F1 status. You need to discuss this with the DSO at the university. Link to comment
F1struggle Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 No. Once you apply you have to use it. You may want to finish off before STEM extension is due. Also talk to your DSO about the situation. Professors cannot keep us in school forever for their benefits and we sometimes need to involve other people to help the situation Link to comment
