A:
If your OPT was denied due to a mistake made by your Designated School Official (DSO), the first step is to speak with your DSO about the issue and see if it can be rectified administratively. In some cases, the DSO might be able to correct the error or provide guidance on how to reapply.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, you may consider consulting with an immigration attorney to discuss your options. While legal action is a possibility, it's essential to evaluate the merits of your case and the potential outcomes. Remember, initiating a lawsuit can be time-consuming and expensive. If you're considering legal action, ensure you have comprehensive documentation to support your claims. Ultimately, determining the best course of action should be done in consultation with legal counsel.
