I would like to request to all the members to ask below question to help student - Could you please ask this question based on my situation - I am going to graduate in Spring 2016 with graduate degree (non-stem). If i want to maintain F-1 status should i apply for OPT. If so then does OPT period gets affected because of TPS EAD. Does TPS EAD reduce time period of OPT EAD or not? Do i have to use OPT after graduation or stick with TPS EAD to maintain my F-1 status? What will happen to F-1 student in TPS after graduation? And also is it possible for F-1 student in TPS to directly apply for GC skipping H1B as there will be more furious competition on next H1B filing. So many questions but i think that most of F-1 student would like to know about it. Thank you again for your active involvement on getting right answers for our doubts through USCIS.
