My DSO is not ready to allow me to file for post-completion OPT because she says I woud not have met the " 1 year rule" by the time I graduate. The rule is the student needs to be a full-time student for one year before applying for post completion OPT.
Well, I'm attending school full-time on a H visa and there is no rule mentioned anywhere about such a thing. I checked USCIS and other similar links.
the DSO says that there is a field in the OPT application that asks if " applicant has completed one year requiremnt" and she says she cannot say "yes" to that field.
I told her that I can get an attorney letter for her to prove that i am eligible and she still says she will not accept it. She says how will an attorney know what to do? This DSO does not even want to consult an attorney.
Anyway, I'm wondering if there is something that I can do. Please help me. Any suggestion on whom I can contact. I've not used any CPT or pre-completion OPT time.
