请问LZ为啥被RFE？

还在写论文期间，USCIS 需要成绩单作为 evidence of program completion

哦哦，祝好运

请教lz，毕业论文没写完，没有答辩，也可以申请 opt extension 吗？
谢谢！

可以的，只要完成了所有学业要求，只有论文没有完成就符合申请条件。

这里有详细的说明：

http://www.nafsa.org/Professiona ... TEM_OPT_Rulemaking/

STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT YET COMPLETED THESIS OR DISSERTATION STILL ELIGIBLE FOR STEM OPT
To be eligible to apply for a 24-month STEM OPT extension the student must be on a period of standard post-completion OPT granted on the basis of either:

Having completed the degree, or
Having completed all course requirements but still completing his or her thesis or dissertation

The preamble to the final rule clarifies that,

"[A] student may qualify for a STEM OPT extension notwithstanding that the student has yet to complete a thesis requirement or equivalent, so long as the thesis requirement or equivalent is the only degree requirement still outstanding at the time of application (although this is not an available option when using a previously obtained STEM degree)."

"The final rule clarifies that F-1 students who have completed all other course requirements for their STEM degree may be eligible for a STEM OPT extension notwithstanding the continuing need to complete the thesis requirement or equivalent for their STEM degree ... DHS believes that this flexibility is consistent with DHS's historical interpretation of the regulatory provisions governing STEM OPT extensions. This exception, however, does not apply with respect to a previously earned STEM degree if the student seeks to base the STEM extension on such a degree."

楼主你好，你这个情况为啥不是申请pre-opt？ 是否申请post-opt更好？

请问，如果PhD还没有答辩，需要提供哪些证明文件给移民局？谢谢！
