OPT HELP needed

If you are applying for OPT ... usually the current university you are enrolled in right now.. will do it for you. In my case, my university applied for it before I gradated from there. 
I havne't heard anybody applying it themselve but I've done the OPT- exntension myself for 17 months after I finished my 1 year OPT. All I needed was the I-20 from the university I graduated from...they will issue you one when you ask them.

btw I was enrolled in community college as well.. I had lost the I-20 from community college... I didnt need to have it anyway.

so My suggestion is, just ask the current university and tell them you are filing for OPT, they will issue you with new I-20 that will state that you are applying for POST GRAUDATION OPT. You just need that one.... no need to gather all the I-20s.

hope it helps.

Thanx
