Guillermo Senmartin, Expert
Welcome back and thank you for requesting me by name. OPT is Optional Practical Training. It is work experience usually after graduation as long as it is related to the field of study. If the person is maintaining OPT, working for a proper employer in a job related to their field of study, that also means they are still in F-1 student status.
What else may I answer for you?
Guillermo Senmartin, Expert
Yes, as long as she can prove that on the date the I-130 AND I-485 are filed, she was properly maintaining OPT status.
What else would you like to know?
Guillermo Senmartin, Expert
She should speak to her Designated School Officer (DSO) about that, and provide current paycheck stubs and a letter from her employer.
What other U.S. Immigration Law questions do you have for me?
Guillermo Senmartin, Expert
You are very welcome. Let me know if you need anything else. It was a pleasure to work with you, and thank you for being a valued customer.
