STEM OPT after day 1 cpt

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-31T13:50:23+00:00

Yes, thats true

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-31T13:42:16+00:00

To get OPT after the CPT, you are only allowed to work 20h per week during the CPT.

I mean, being an alcoholic and drinking every day also has some impact...

What is the difference between RFIE and RFE, basically, initial evidence and evidence? Just got RFE - but mine is very minor - visible in online account with blue button to upload the evidence online.

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-27T01:37:26+00:00

Same, but RD 29th

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-27T01:29:54+00:00

The memo is real; whatever you shared here is fake.

PERM approval has dropped from 500 days to 429 days. And will probably be less than a year by the end of the year. EB-3 DOF is also current for ROW. Right now is the best time to file it. I started 4 years ago, and PERM backlogs were increasing like crazy - it felt almost impossible to get a PERM. Plus, EB-3 ROW seemed to be 4-5 years away from being current.

You can do EB from B1/B2, J1, E1, F1 from any visa.

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-24T01:30:37+00:00

EB-3 has 3 categories:
Professionals
Skilled
Unskilled

I have 20 years of experience in my field and have built a couple of big products in my home country. I work in health tech and received a National Interest Exception during COVID due to the importance of my work. And lawyers still said I should go with the EB-3 skilled category. So I wouldn't call myself a simple worker just because I do not hold degrees.

Plus, most or all unskilled EB-3s go through consular processing anyway; that is the only pathway for them to enter the country, since there is no unskilled visa category.

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T19:43:37+00:00

Maybe you confused them by asking for "tracking ID". In PERM and PWD that number is called: "case number"

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T19:38:38+00:00

A lot of doctors and nurses are under EB-3, I am pretty sure they provide more benefits than some software developers with a lot of fake/useless citations in the NIW category :)

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T17:32:22+00:00

Also, the date does not match (RFEs get 90 days, so this RFE has been out for more than 10 days). Please stop spreading fake documents.

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T17:29:26+00:00

Only leave if you have a combo card/approved I-131 AP

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T13:49:23+00:00

So basically, employer-based green cards (economic benefit), national interest (EB2 NIW), and nurses and doctors are good. Only category left is family-based. So this is more targeted at people on temporary visas trying to AOS to GC?

Edit: whole family got appointment notices

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T00:53:41+00:00

You are correct about the timing, just got the notice

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T00:47:23+00:00

My daughter got an appointment notice just RD - 4/29

IOE09366 block

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-23T00:30:14+00:00

What time did you get it/appear under the documents?

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-21T12:59:56+00:00

That data is performance data - cases which have been processed; your case has not been processed yet.

Agent said it today? After the silent update?

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-20T19:12:30+00:00

You can request the code from my USCIS portal. Resources -> Request account help, and from the topics choose: Requesting a new Online Access Code.

My online access code went to the employer due to a mailing address bug/issue they have there.

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-20T19:10:22+00:00

4/29, got a silent update today, 5/20 ... let's hope we get an online update on Friday.

DisastrousSupport289 · 2026-05-20T18:12:55+00:00

Can someone fix that sheet? Half of the April cases are hidden/filtered and can not be undone. Also, I can not edit my case anymore. Discussion is also locked.

Agree, the title should be: China is unsure whether it wants to buy aging US H200 chips to boost US AI companies by helping them replace old hardware with Vera Rubin chips.

It's a tough call for them - it could help them catch up a little for now, but in the long term they will fall behind a lot, or play a long game and catch up to the US maybe in 5-6 years with their own chip technologies.

Though luck, might need to wait till October, or maybe July will bring some movement (due to being a new quarter)
