bharma Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 I graduated in December 2018. I had applied for my OPT on November 8th with a starting date of Jan 29, 2019. The application got denied on Feb 19, which is 65 days after my graduation date. The reason of denial has been stated that the DSO made an OPT recommendation on Oct 8th but my application was received by them on Nov. 8th, 31 days after the recommendation. I had received my initial I20 on Oct 8th but couldn’t apply right away. As such I applied for a new I20 and sent the application with the new I20. My school DSO seems to have not updated this information. I am planning to file a Motion to Reopen/Reconsider. I would really appreciate it if someone could answer following questions: 1) What are the chances of my MTR being successful? 2) What documents should I enclose along with the I290B application? 3) what is a reasonable timeline for the MTR being processed? 4) If the MTR is successful and I receive my OPT, what is the starting date on it going to be? If anyone has other suggestions/advices please let me know. I am running out of time and options and will have to make a decision soon. Regards, BV
