各位好,本人阅读过

自己可能也需要面对这方面的问题,于是咨询了我校负责国际学生的办公室,得到回复如下:

1. 关于如果之前没有拿ms degree但是修完了学分,是否可以获得ms opt。
关于这方面的回答我没看明白,但是系里的advisor他之前说过可以拿opt。anyway我大概会走phd的post comp,所以不大在意,这里贴出来小秘回复原文。
For this scenario to be possible, your department would have to post your Master's degree as earned in the quarter you plan to apply for OPT. This may not be possible if your enrollment has surpassed the Master's degree requirements.
2. all but defense是否可以拿post completion opt,这个没悬念,可以。他们写了这句话
When you transition to post-completion OPT, your F-1 status will not depend on your enrollment.
我理解是不需要注册学分了对吗?他们还给了个缴Graduate Registration Waiver Fee的链接。
3. 是否需要老板同意(要不要怕跟老板呛火)?告诉我的是does not require your department advisor's input or support,这个和大多数人的回复不同,我问问毕业的同学是什么情况。
4. 可否extension?可以。他们提供了nafsa.org。另外,If you have not completed your degree when you apply for STEM Extension OPT, USCIS may request more information from you or your academic department; however, regulations do state that you are eligible while a thesis or dissertation is still in process

遇到坑老板着实头疼,希望这个贴子给你们刚下去的底气。

ps:我与原贴的lz私下有交流,那个贴子沉了他好像就不想再打扰大家了,那我冒泡赚个分来。
