STEM OPT Options

Dawn Chere Sequeira
Answered by attorney Dawn Chere Sequeira (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Legacy Immigration, LLC
Hello, for our clients who do not have OPT stem extension, we have sometimes changed their status to an H3 traineeship visa.  These are difficult to prove, but we have had success. It will give you a maximum of 18 months.  You can also look around for other companies to sponsor you.  We are filing employment-based cases for those with only a bachelor's degree (in fact we just to an i140 approval for an EB3 case yesterday, without an RFE).  If you would like to get a legal fee estimate, please send an email to me at dawn@legacyimmigrationattorney.com.

Can I leave the US and come back with a piece of paper as a student or as President Barack Obama's immigration?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I will assume that you are not a legal F-1 student as most American consulates will not give student visas to children who are 11 years old. If you are not legal, you should not do anything at this time. If you leave, you will have a very difficult time coming back in legally. You should wait and see what happens with the expansion of the DACA program which is presently on hold due to a temporary injunction by a federal district court judge in Texas. As you have already been in this country for five years and four months, and are presently studying, you would likely be eligible for the expanded form of DACA once the temporary injunction is overcome and the program put back on track.

Can I go to college before I get my green card?

Reza Athari
Answered by attorney Reza Athari (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Reza Athari & Associates, PLLC
Whether you can attend school will depend on the school itself and what they will require for you to show them. So long as you do not claim to be a US citizen then you must abide by the school's policies.
