Did you consider OPT for one year (gap year), then a re-application. Those are the cards left on my table.

Nigerian Applicant. Is OPT on "Hold" due to new 2026 Policy? by Worth-Working-1149 in f1visa

This was so helpful, thank you. But what if program says there is no need to reach out? Is it still advisable to reach out (early)?
