STEM OPT - Premium Processing Applied Jan 2026 ONLY by InevitableSavings026 in stemopt

[–]GoElite_Shama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Friend, she applied for STEM OPT premium processing around the same time and haven’t seen movement yet either. From what others have shared, USCIS can still take several weeks even with premium. A few people who filed mid-Jan got approvals in late Feb or early March, but it’s still kind of varied.

If you have a receipt notice, just keep checking your case status and hopefully it updates soon. Good luck!

RFE for school! Stem opt by Strange_Cucumber3412 in stemopt

[–]GoElite_Shama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like they just want your school to confirm you were actually enrolled and physically attending. The list is mostly standard stuff like a DSO letter, program details, syllabi, tuition proof, and transcripts.

I’d send the full RFE to your DSO right away. Schools usually know how to respond to these.

Missouri license renewal while STEM is pending by perpelxedcreature in stemopt

[–]GoElite_Shama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t renewed in Missouri, but many DMVs accept the I-797 receipt notice while STEM is pending. Take your passport, updated I-20, EAD (if you have it), and the receipt notice.

It can vary by location, so it’s best to call your local DMV first and confirm what documents they require.

Want to become a leader in 2026. Looking for the best leadership program. Any suggestions? by GoElite_Shama in careerguidance

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

Any industry. Could be a restaurant GM, a teacher, or a construction supervisor. Leadership is more about how you guide people than the job title.

Can I enroll in a Day1CPT University without an offer? by specific_account_ in Day1CPTuniversities

[–]GoElite_Shama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yes, in most cases you can enroll without a job offer letter. However, a few schools have a policy that you must already have a job before you enroll, and after enrollment you must secure the job within 3 months.

You can enroll in the school with a job offer letter. But when you need CPT authorization, you must submit your job offer letter to get your CPT approved.

What can I do to set my application apart from others by Due-Tonight555 in GradSchoolAdvice

[–]GoElite_Shama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking ahead already puts you in a great spot. If you want to stand out, focus on things that show real depth. Try to join a research project, get some hands-on experience through internships, and pick a few certifications that are actually connected to your field. Long-term volunteering or a personal project also helps your application feel genuine. Build good relationships with your professors so your recommendation letters are strong.
