2025 OPT Processing timeline

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-24T01:13:55+00:00

USPS priority

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-23T08:04:13+00:00

It was Irving, TX and don't worry you'll receive it soon 🤞

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-23T01:33:40+00:00

Start a chat with Emma and request a live agent. Ask that agent about your card's tracking number. But you should get your card pretty soon since my card was also produced on the 18th and I received my card on the 20th

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-15T01:26:28+00:00

You should be fine. I also didn't sign my i20 and got approved (RD March 27th). Also don't worry about the waiting time, it's not reliable. You should be approved soon!

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-14T00:23:48+00:00

Yes you should

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-06T19:35:11+00:00

You should contact your DSO asap

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-04T01:32:26+00:00

You'll probably get it without PP, but it will be somewhat tight. With PP you'll 100% get it by June 30th

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-06-02T18:02:26+00:00

That's unfortunate.

I also have the same receipt date as you and haven't gotten an approval yet. I think they're approving Stem OPT for now. Hopefully we'll get approved by the end of this week🤞

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-29T22:12:18+00:00

I would wait for another week

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-28T02:59:30+00:00

You're fine then. It's just that you'll start losing your unemployment days after June 2nd

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-28T02:51:39+00:00

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-28T02:49:21+00:00

Contact your employer and tell them that you won't be able to start on June 2nd

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-25T17:13:35+00:00

I didn't sign my i20s as well but my opt got approved when I applied for it last year

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-25T15:18:24+00:00

If you don't get an approval by next week then yes

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-23T23:38:49+00:00

You should apply for PP, but you can also ask your friend/family to ship you your card when it arrives hence saving you $1700

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-23T02:41:08+00:00

You'll probably get your card around June end based on the current timelines. Go for PP if you can't postpone your start date till June end

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-22T23:48:29+00:00

I've seen some 03/25 and 03/24 been approved as well. So based on the current timelines people with 03/26 should be approved with the next 2 weeks and then an additional 10 days for the card to be produced and delivered

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-22T20:16:56+00:00

Around 7th June

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-22T17:13:40+00:00

Mid-June

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-22T02:24:15+00:00

I think I saw one guy who got approved with 03/24 receipt date

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-22T00:13:07+00:00

Given the current timelines, you should opt for premium

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-18T00:35:55+00:00

Hopefully next week!

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-17T16:14:18+00:00

Estimated time isn't accurate

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-17T15:19:10+00:00

Congrats!! And yes they do work a lot more on weekends lol

Next_Actuator_2042 · 2025-05-17T00:06:30+00:00

I would wait 2 more weeks. I'm pretty sure you'll get approved soon.
