Hi,

company expecting Start date would be Feb 13, maximum one or two week late joining can be considerable(not sure) but after that offer will be terminate as it's immediate requirement.

So please let me know how can I get OPT ASAP. I have sent document today to USCIS Phonix Lock Box ...............also in application package I have include my cover letter along my offer letter with hope that, they'll consider my case on expedite mode.

But I am in very tense in case of rejection, & how to further initiate process. I have booked my appointment at San Jose Field office and I am hoping that by that time I'll get receipt number, but I don't know whether that office will allowed me to discuss & consider my case.

Yes, I have kind of cover letter it's mentioned that student is working toward his project and as per the new rule he can apply for full time pre OPT etc etc....

and letter is address to USCIS Adjudicator. I believe it's kind of cover letter and exactly not the recommendation letter.

But I got another offer letter(I made request) from my company that address to USCIS oficer.

Thanks for your co operation. please let me know if you nee more details from my side.

We've got like half a month total to process it, I doubt you will have it on time (even with expedited application, not mention RFE) Could you ask your employer to delay the job? Good luck.
