All right,
Here u go hotice,

My application for an OPT was denied. How can I appeal?

If your application for an EAD is denied, you will receive a letter that will explain the reasons for the denial. You will not be allowed to appeal a negative decision to a higher authority. However, you may submit a motion to reopen or a motion to reconsider with the office that made the unfavorable decision. By filing these motions, you may ask the office to reexamine or reconsider their decision. A motion to reopenmust state new facts that are to be provided in the reopened proceeding and must be accompanied by affidavits or other documentary evidence. A motion to reconsider must establish that the decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy, and further establish that the decision was incorrect based on the evidence in the file at the time the decision was made. 

i recommed to make sure while u applying coz USCIS ppl will do in clear step by step process validation .. 



1.Check your CIP code on I-20 (3rd page)with STEM eligible codes on http://ice.gov/sevis 

2.make sure your E-verify number is 6 digit,check two times with ur employer. 

3.Before your current expiration. (if u got decession approval/denial before u r current expiration then u will have chance to do sthg,other wise 
even god cant help us in this freaking USCIS systems whcih exclusively built to [Disallowed String for - bad word] us.) 


school/employer they dont know what the [Disallowed String for - bad word] they r doing ,if they did sthg wrong like typo mistake our time going to spoil. 

if u missed any thing funny like transcripts or signing on I20/check or failed to send the new xerox copy of I-20 which is not more than 30 days old ...u will be in extreme danger .No doubt abt it .
