OPT Denied, What are my options
Login in to Rate this Post:     0       ?        
I got the Letter from USCIS. The reason they say is "Applicant is engaged in CPT for more than aggregate 12 months".

The problem here is they counted my part time CPT also as full time CPT. I am going to apply for "Motions to Reopen or Reconsider".

I did work in CPT for around 2 years. But only 313 days as Full time. I should be able to make my case here.

What do you think about it ?

Unfortunately, the letter doesn't say anything on how I can reopen the case or Appeal against it. My international student advisor is also not sure about this. This guy is new and hasn't encountered such situation before ( This is good opportunity for him to learn ). He suggested me to talk to attorney. I am going to do that.

Do anybody know good immigration lawyer in Bay Area ?

Thanks all.
