What happens if my OPT application is denied?

If OPT application is denied:

• Review denial notice for specific reason
• Common reasons: Late filing, missing documents, ineligible degree, SEVIS issues
• Options: File motion to reopen/reconsider, or reapply if still eligible
• Timeline: Must act quickly as OPT has strict deadlines

Prevention: File early, double-check all documents, work with DSO, ensure SEVIS is updated.
