Hi, did you not qualify for the Dropbox/interview waiver? Have you heard of other cases of success stories? or if anyone was denied F1 restamping on OPT ? There is so much of scare around 
Hi, I am in a similar situation but I need F1 visa stamping since I changed my status from f2 to f1 and never traveled to India after coming to us. I have valid opt (till jan 2017) and valid job and pay slips. I need to travel to india in Nov. I will get the receipt for my stem opt but ead will take time to arrive. Is it very risky? Please advice.
thanks in advance!
