Hi 

I applied for opt after finishing my MSCIS degree. I got denied after 9 months by mentioning the reason of university transfer. In my  denial letter the reason they mentioned that because i did not not pursuing a full course of study( ref:214.2(f)(8)(i)) at the school I was last authorized. So my opt was denied because of transferring school at the first quarter. 

However, before getting denial i applied to withdraw my opt application and got admitted for another degree , but i did not get any answer about withdrawal letter from uscis. In sevis, they just deactivate my old degree and activate my current degree.

 

Now, I am planning to reapply for opt again because i did not use my opt before.

So, my question is " Can I reapply for opt even though I got denied once " ?

 

Note: A lot of my friends are getting opt approval even though they transferred their sevis from one school to another  without pursuing a  full course of study(214.2(f)(8)(i))

 

Please help me out !!
