I,Pursued my M.S Degree in Electronics Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology,(NJIT) NJ on May 2006.
I got my student visa 0n August 2004 for 5 years i.e from August 2004-August 2009.Now, after completion of my M.S I got one year of OPT from June 2006-June 2007 and I didn’t find a suitable company to file H-1B visa for.Thus, I extended or overstayed for 180 days prior to the completion of my OPT status.
After a much try I returned back to India on December 2007.Since, then I working as an Assistant Professor in an Engineering college in India.
But, I want to pursue PhD degree from NJIT again and my professors are also ready to give me the scholarships. But, my question is:-
WILL I BE ELGIBLE TO GO BACK USA ONCE AGAIN? I DIDN’T VIOLATED THE STUDENT VISA STATUS, I JUST OVERSTAYED 180 DAYS AGAINST OF MY OPT DATE?
Please, your answer will be my key decision maker of my carrier and my life
