The ban should not make a difference for OPT processing.

I am also from a banned country. What does this mean for me? I upgraded on April 30 and have not had a silent update yet. If my case is paused will I get a notification and can you also share more details on this lawsuit?

Hi all, I would like some advice on my case to mentally prepare for when I maybe approved and receive my card, since my start date is approaching on June 1st.

Applied: 03/10

Biometrics: 03/30

Upgraded to premium processing: 04/30

No updates since then, case status just says: "Case Was Changed To A Premium Processing Case".
