hey guys
I was so screwed up with this USCIS. My OPT expired on Sept 20. I have been accepted by the University and worked on all documents and submitted by Nov 14. The unviersity was ready to issue me I-20. They were aware my 60 days period. My SEVIS was released from previous university and everything was ready to issue I-20But they couldnt issue me I-20 because I was already out of status for more than 2 weeks. What happened was on my SEVIS record my OPT expired on Aug 31. But the EAD card says my OPT expired on Sept. 20. The DSO told me that she sent an email to SEVIS people to correct the date. Technically I am screwed now. But DSO assured me to be patient and wait or few days before they fix it. Even if they dont fix it we would have to file for reinstatement. So I'm hoping that I dont have to file for reinstatement. That would suck. I tried to do everything right but you know sometimes it goes against you. Anyway hoping for the best.
p.s. does anybody know how much is the filing fee for reinstatement?
