Dear Sajha users,
Recently, I came across a conflicting issue which has been discussed here again and again. I am writing on behalf of my friend who is currently on the OPT status in the US. He graduated in May 2010 and his OPT starts from July 15, 2010. As we all are aware of the situation, chance of getting new job is very slim. Thus, we wanted to know about the following question.
1. How long he can stay legally in the US after 3 months window period?
2. How long is the grace period, if he does not get any job?
3. Can he extend the grace period by doing observership or volunteer at consultancy? If yes, then how long?
Thank you for your time and suggestions, if any!
