Question: I am a student and have a valid OPT extension for 17 months, till Nov 2017. I applied for an extension of 7 months last year august (2016). It got denied as package went 1 day late, will my F-1 status get effected?
Answer: The status will terminate as soon as the OPT period is over. The denial of STEM seven months do not have an impact as you were left with the remaining F-1 based STEM OPT till November 2017.
