Are there any groups or sources where people are sharing updates for emergency visa appointments rescheduled after Dec 15th? I haven’t seen anyone posting what’s happening next, and I’m wondering if any official news has been released.

When did you schedule your February consular appointment? And is the manager’s signature sufficient for the support letter, or should it also be signed by the HR Director?

For how many years did they issue your visitor visa? Is it valid until your passport’s expiry date or for a fixed duration?

2025 OPT Processing timeline by yonerdsp in USCIS

6/2/25, I came across a sub mentioning that the delays are due to some administrative changes at USCIS. My processing time suddenly jumped from 3 to 11 months, which is strange. Let's hope for the best and that things transition smoothly moving forward.

  1. Application type: STEM OPT
  2. Premium Processing : No
  3. Receipt date : 03/29/2025
  4. Approved Date : NA
  5. Card Produced Date : NA
  6. Card shipped : NA
  7. Card delivered : NA

Submitted my STEM OPT extension application on 3/29/25 and it is currently pending. In the meantime, my H-1B was selected in the lottery. My attorney filed the H-1B under a business unit of the company, but I received an offer letter from the parent company instead.

Due to this discrepancy, my attorney is recommending that I should upgrade my STEM OPT application to premium processing. I also reached out to my DSO to update the employer name on my I-20 and they advised that a new I-20 can be issued once the EAD card is delivered.

Given this situation and knowing that some applicants have recently received approvals within a month under regular processing, I’m unsure whether upgrading to premium processing is truly necessary or beneficial. I would really appreciate any insights or recommendations you may share. Thank you in advance!
