My OPT got denied. I will be graduating this december (2009) I haven't applied any masters program what should I do? what will be my status?? If I wanted to join master in August 2010 what will be my status?? NEED HELP URGENT !!

Why was it denied? I thought every student is eligible for it and is taken for granted. Did you use part of it before completing your study?

this is the first time that I ever applied for OPT..

did you applied for CPT and worled for more than 11 months??

nope i haven't applied CPT as well.....just applied OPT...

SO What do i need to do now...college ends in 10 days.....and i have no clue what to do ???

Go home..

Call them and ask for  the reason!!

hotice, go to International office ASAP and tell them what to do whn you intent to start a Masters program. They will find a way for you. They can give explanation to UCIS. Good Luck.

OPT gets denied only if some documents are missing....r u sure you included everything that was required...is there a process for appeal....talk to your international advisor asap...goo luck

This is really scary. I have never heard a case like this..anyway good luck

Talk to the ISA as soon as possible. Don't panic but you really need to act soon. Take all copies of your application/documents to ISA to make sure things are right.

Don't panic and keep it cool. Talk to your International student advisors and have them make an inquiry on your behalf. OPT for graduating seniors is almost a given. I'm guessing your documentation was incomplete or something of that sort. 

Like Quagmire said, Go to international student office (ISO) and ask them. Did not they process if for you. I think in most schools ISO handles this.

If you have not applied for OPT before and used it, you are definitley eligible for it. Most likely you have missed some documents to send or they were lost during processing. I have never heard of OPT declined before. I think once it is submitted again you will be in status during processing time.

If something is missing or done in a wrong way, THE USCIS will send your application back stating the ERROR made on the application but will not reject any application just because of incomplete documentation.

For eg. When I applied it back in 2007, the first time I had applied, they sent back my application because the amount I put on the Check, "4" looked like a "9". Then I sent them the corrected one and I got approved.

All right,

thanks guys for your input....

i had my opt denied too last year, and i was a graduating senior....ur and my case might be similar. i went back to my advisor's office and enrolled for classes right away, even though they were 3 undergrad classes. i later changed them to grad courses and i transferred to another school after one semester..tantai khallas tespachi...tara they asked for my cpt papers before they said the application was cancelled~! like quagmire said..u can contest if you like! but talking to ur advisor is the best way to go!
