Hi there,

My question is regarding applying to OPT program for international student. While being on F-1 status I have worked outside of campus with my SSN and have done tax return. So now I am graduating and have to apply for OPT, so my question is ..... Do I have a high chance of getting denied by OPT since I worked outside of Campus with my SSN? or is there any chance that I can still get approved by OPT? Can someone please help with this questions... I would greatly appreciate any help!!
