My I-20 end date was originally in August. To be able to quickly apply for OPT, I shortened it to June so that I was able to file in time.
Now, I got my OPT EAD with a starting date June 16 and my I-20 end date is June 15.
Is it possible to defend in early June and then submit the complete thesis after the I-20 end date? Or, do I have to complete everything before June 15?
Thanks in advance!
I’m planning to email a professor I’ve been collaborating with for the past few years to express my interest in joining her group as a postdoc. I would also like to ask her for a recommendation letter for another postdoc position I’ve applied to.
Based on our previous discussions, I believe she may be interested in hiring me. However, I’d also like to explore other opportunities, and she would be the strongest person to write me a recommendation letter.
Do you think this is appropriate? Is it okay to ask for her support in the same email while expressing interest in her group?
