I married to a US citizen after I applied to university for master program on F-1 visa. I have never applied for adjustment of status. Now I wanna get divorced. Can my marital status affect OPT process?

Re: f1-OPT and marriage
Your marriage and subsequent divorce should not affect your OPT period. Just remember that when you complete the OPT, you will be required to return home, wherever that may be. Good luck!
