    Default Can You Get OPT if Your Degree is Not Complete

    I was supposed to complete my degree recently but could not complete it as I could not attend 1 exam due to health issues. I had applied for post completion OPT and received it. I contacted my International adviser and he says that I should keep working to maintain status. I have got a job offer for 40 hour a week, should I join them? Would it be a problem or should I work with my professor for 20 hour in his research till Dec? Also have to go to my home country in January. So if I should work with my professor would it have problem getting back because I am not working in a company?

    Why haven't you taken the exam?

    Your expected completion date for your course of study, indicated on your I-20, is what? If you're not going to graduate by that date, have you applied for an extension, documenting the valid grounds for non-completion (in this case, presumably, a documented medical illness)?

    You applied for post-completion OPT, in which case you should be working with the international adviser from your college to determine whether you will be able to complete your academic program while working.

    Your excuse is not believable. All professors have an option for people in your situation.
