Can I file my OPT from my home country?
Our college let out early, so I had to leave the country in a hurry because of the COVID pandemic and I hadn't started filing my OPT yet.
Now that I am back in my home country (Latin America), I hear I can no longer file my OPT because I have to be on US soil to do that.
Can I come back on my F1 Visa, even if I will only be able to return after my graduation date has passed. Obviously we forfeit an official graduation since we all had to go home.
