Hi,

I came as a student and my visa expired in June 2010. However, my OPT expires in Sept 2010. So in the i-485 do I say current USCIS status F-1 visa holder and expires June 2010 or use my OPT end date, Sept 2010?

Also, did you use the A# that is on the OPT EAD on your application or just stick to i-94 and Social Security number when asked?

Thanks!!!

Use the F-1 status - since that is what you came in as. The OPT EAD just allows you to work as a student - no status is given with that.

You would use the A# they gave you - that's yours for life.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
