My F1 ended on August 31st and grace period to apply for OPT was till October 31st. I received a letter on Nov 9th from USCIS with my entire application package stating that my application was rejected due to issues in cheque. Since I was already out of grace period when I received reject, I am worried about my status. In package, there was a letter from USCIS stating date when it was received by USCIS and that date is within grace period. I sent package back to them on Nov 12th for OPT filing but my student service center was not so confident about my application. My I20 was within 30 days period by the time I applied for the second time. I am tensed!!!! My question is if the application gets rejected for the first time, does the second application has to be within 60 day period of graduation?Kindly let me know. Sum of $380 was deducted from my bank account 2 days ago and I have received a receipt number that is not yet functional. My application is at Vermont USCIS center.
