Our client, a citizen of India, fell out of F-1 status, so he left the U.S. and then re-entered using an F-1 visa, after his SEVIS was reactivated. When he applied for OPT, USCIS denied the application and stated that he was not in status upon his re-entry. Attorney Furqan was then hired and he filed an I-290B appeal. USCIS agreed with Attorney Furqan’s arguments, approved the case, and sent the client his OPT card.
