can you take a class while you are on OPT. I need to take a class towards the end of my OPT because that class is being offered at that time only but I do not want to give up my four months of OPT for one class. Any idea ? thanks

 You can't take class on OPT unless you want to go back to Nepal as soon as you complete your OPT.

 you can take classes part-time.  if you wanted to enroll in a full-time program then it requires a new I-20 which will  terminate the OPT.

 part time here I meant was vocational training.

Thanks guys for your input. I only need to take one class towards the end of my OPT becuase it is being offered at that time only otherwise I would have to wait another year.
