Not selected in H-1B lottery. My STEM OPT expires in July 2018. So, I have another turn next year, but, my F-1 visa is expired. Chances of getting an F-1 re-stamp in case I wish to travel abroad?

I heard it's pretty tough to get a visa stamp for OPT.

Not likely.

Yes, concerned due to rapidly changing immigration laws

US legal immigration is a nightmare, specially for Indian nationals. Wish we all had the guts to stage a mass exodus elsewhere.

OP -- I'm Indian, and had no trouble getting a new F1 visa while on OPT (in a third country, no less).

Same situation as BCG1. Had an expired F1 while on OPT and got the stamp in the Middle East.

No work in India??

Am an Indian too. Thanks BCG1 and Deloitte1. Which month and year did you both get your re-stamping if you don't mind me asking.

Sept 2014

Thanks!

Hi folks,
Quite new to this. I’ll be moving to Dubai in a month and I got to know that my education documents need to be attested before the company can apply for visa.

Do I need to have MOFA Attestation in addition to the UAE Embassy Attestation from home country or will that be managed by the company in UAE itself?
