学校OIA 为难人，不给办CPT怎么办

一般都是最初级的officer最严格。。一是害怕担责任，二是拿着鸡毛当令箭。。我之前也被一个international officer卡了，就只能使劲改，然后写了长长的letter把哪门课哪个内容和公司岗位职责的关系一一列出，letter下面manager签字，后来就给我过了。其实再不过还可以直接找她上级，然后找自己系里的小秘和advisor帮着都写信背书一下。

I ran into the same thing when I applied for my CPT a few years ago. I even expected that would happen before I went to their office, after going through some forums where there were students complained about their experience with IOA for the same reason.
The coordinator/staff or whatever they call themselves are different, unfortunately the one I scheduled an appointment with is a 'difficult' one, or I would call him a dumb Axx. Anyway, for the same reason ("not related to your major") he wanted to reject me and I was prepared for that. Skipping the details (e.g. he said for example, CS is to build websites...), we argued a lot. My conclusion is "You do not know my major and I'm trying to explain it to you, if you still don't follow, find your manager and I want talk to her."
This guy find his manager, again I explained everything that I've told him, emphasizing what HR has made clear in their job description, this is exactly what are major is about and I can loop in my advisor if you need supportive statement.
Basically nothing changed in my explain but I was escalating the discussion letting them know that I won't let this go until they convince me they are right - how come? This is my major.
The manager saw that I'm not stepping back at all, even though that dumb axx was still "but... but..." while there was literally nothing after that "but". She said let's approve it, but "it's for your good that if it is called out, you may have trouble in future for your OPT." I don't give a dame since you're just ... stupid.
Other than that, if they still don't do their job, again, escalate the conversation to your Dean - student employment rate is an important reputation/performance index for a school, why your employee are bringing in trouble to that just because of their ignorance?

Bear with me, I don't have Chinese type-writing on my computer here but hope this could help a bit.
