Hi everyone, I need your help in responding to the RFE I received from USCIS for my OPT request. Please suggest.
I have everything from DSO, except what is asked in #4.
According to DSO, attendance records are not provided by college because of FERPA and they directed me to include any information (including transportation receipts, lodging, etc.) to prove my physical attendance on the campus.
I have attended the in-person classes, but I do not have the transportation receipts because I lived with my spouse in nearby city (11 miles distance from college). I am not sure what to provide as lodging proof and if bills with my name would be helpful. Also, as the city where I lived is different from that of college, not sure if USCIS would consider it. Also, last four semesters were during COVID, because of which the classes which require physical attendance for F1, were held online.
RFE ----Evidence must include but is not limited to----
1. Statement from the Designated School Official (DSO) and the Registrar attesting to your physical presence in the classroom.
2. A full description of your course of study/academic program, including all graduation requirements such as the number of credits or classroom hours and your college's definition of "full course of study" for your degree level;
3. Copies of your course syllabi for all classes and coursework in which you earned credit towards your degree. Provide delivery method (in person/lecture, lab, virtual, online, tele-learning, broadcast, satellite, etc.) of the course if not listed on the syllabus;
4. Please submit attendance records for all classes you physically attended while enrolled at XYZ University;
5. Proof of tuition payment made by you for the duration of your enrollment.
6. A copy of your most recent transcripts showing number of credits or hours received.
