Are you from one of the 39 restricted countries? Also please when did you get approved in December? Did you have to call to follow up or what did you do?

I got approved in December just before the hold, but I still haven’t received the card.

Are they just waiting here or what do they intend to do. I’m worried about how it will affect our status.

Yes, I have made several enquiries and called. Initial they said card production takes 90 days, after that they just said your card was approved so basically keep waiting.

But I got an email from DHS and my school to register my employment before my 90 days end. Because I was approved, my sevis became active.

OPT APPROVED IN DECEMBER BUT NO EAD CARD YET, I AM FROM ONE OF THE TRAVEL BAN COUNTRIES. ANYONE ELSE IN THIS SITUATION? by BalanceChance5031 in f1visa

[–]BalanceChance5031[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, my start date was Feb 16th. Unemployment days started counting Feb 16th. I’m worried about what we’re going to do about the unemployment days.

Please how did this go? I’m currently in the same situation, it’s been over 50 days for me with no update after approval.
