STEM DENIED AND SEVIS CLOSED

[rahulsajan903]

hi, 

i recently applied for STEM extension ,but it was denied ,the reason they gave was that my degree is not eligible for STEM , I took MBA-IT , but i am sure my major has it , it is one of the few MBA major that has STEM , plus i enquired with all of my friends who also took MBA IT they all have it approved ,
the problem is that they have closed my SEVIS as well , i have OPT till this month end but they have closed my SEVIS for no reason , now i can reapply or reopen the case i dont know if i can even change my status back to student without going back 
please help on what my next course of action should 
P.S i am sure the major has STEM , i even send them a letter from the university statinf that this major has STEM along with the MAJOR code

thank you

The M in STEM stands for Maths. MBA does not come under STEM. If your friends got STEM extension then complain to USCIS.

Check the CIP code for your major in your I-20. (page 2 or 3). If that appears in the STEM list, then you can appeal based on that.

You need to check the primary major code in page number 3 of your STEM I -20. If that code is present in the above list sent by livliv, then you can appeal for your case.
