I-20 expiration date: 06/27/2014
PhD Degree conferral date: 08/12/2014
OPT-EAD application date: 08/05/2014 (e-filing, without valid job offer in hand)
Currently valid start & end dates on OPT-I-20: 08/25/2014 - 08/24/2015
Job offer received date: 08/27/2014
Employer requested start date: 09/03/2014
USCIS denied EAD: 09/25/2014

Hey all!

My EAD was recently denied (received e-mail), I haven't yet received my denial notice stating reason for denial by postal mail from USCIS.

After EAD denial, since I'm past the 60 day grace period of F-1 should I leave the country? What is my visa status at this point? The OPT I-20 is valid from 08/25/2014 to 08/24/2015.

My employer, a non-profit organization might be willing to file an expedited H1B. Should I attempt a change of status from F1 to H4 based on husbands H1B while waiting to respond to USCIS denial notice by MTR and filing for expedited H1B?

I don't want to accrue out of status illegal stay days. Please advise. Thanks!!!

My EAD was denied due to the DSO issuing OPT I20 & recording in SEVIS 2 days after they asked me to E-file I-765, Sort of like this case:

I am past the 60 days grace period and intend to file a motion, but am not sure if it should be to reopen or reconsider or both. My school does not provide access to an immigration attorney. The Immigration lawyer through my employer might not respond soon enough. What documents should I include in an MTR?
