Hi all,
I have applied for F1 status reinstatement and USCIS already received my application on June 17th, 2016. I have graduated from school on August 12th,2016 and so I need to file my OPT application no later than October 12th,2016. Recently, I am informed that if the reinstatement comes later than the OPT application deadline, I will not be eligible to apply for OPT because DSO cannot issue an I-20 for OPT. Please let me know if this is true? How can I regain my eligibility for OPT application if reinstatement really comes later than OPT deadline which is not far away now. Urgent help required. Thanks.
