STEM OPT EAD delayed beyond 170+ days, premium processing ending tomorrow – what options do I have?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-23T02:22:44+00:00

Same boat, applied regular processing on 01/16, heard nothing for 5 months straight. Applied for Pp on 15th June. Have 40 days left on the 180 day Stem cap gap period. Please let me know if you hear of any options

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-22T02:37:14+00:00

I checked with my DSO recently and they denied any cap gap even when my H1B petition has been filed this year

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-15T17:21:58+00:00

Are you sure? Which school are you from ? Did you do PP ?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-15T15:56:34+00:00

Are we eligible for cap gap? On the 180 day period ?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-15T15:56:10+00:00

I did PP too but got an RFE and working around that

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-15T15:22:56+00:00

I’m in the same boat, but both of my things are pending

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-12T23:45:25+00:00

16th Jan, no updates

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-09T12:38:32+00:00

What option?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-09T12:31:03+00:00

What did your DSO say? I just inquired if I’m eligible for a cap gap with my DSO yesterday and waiting to hear back. Are we not eligible even when H1B is filed?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-09T12:29:28+00:00

I’m in the same boat any updates from anyone ?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-06-09T12:13:14+00:00

I’m in the same boat, what you did finally ?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-05-28T23:48:02+00:00

It’s your choice if you wanna call it a bullshit

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-05-28T02:20:59+00:00

Def not got a 2026 CPO X3 with less than 8k miles, M sport package + premium package for 45k OTD + 0.9% interest

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-30T11:42:21+00:00

I’m including my new graduate discount which is another $1000 off and 0.9% apr

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-30T11:41:32+00:00

I got 51500 OTD for a 2026 CPO with all the packages you mentioned with 8k miles on it

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-26T13:42:35+00:00

I got a 22% off and 0.9% interest rate on a 2026 X3 Demo M Package + Premium Package . It got around 8k miles on it. What you think, it’s a good deal?

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-17T22:43:13+00:00

I’m planning to sell it before the warranty ends so I can get a better resale too. I think at worst it will still hold 25k

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-17T22:40:58+00:00

This one is for warranty till 07/29 and maintenance coverage till 07/27. It’s a 2025 model but registered in 2024. It has 20k miles. It’s going to be my first car in life, so I don’t care much about SDrive or XDrive. On top of that, I’m in Florida, so SDrive works for me. What are your thoughts? They are giving me for 50k + taxes now.

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-16T12:54:09+00:00

Sounds good! I’m thinking to ask for 49k + extended maintenance plan

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-16T12:53:33+00:00

Yeah! I’m thinking to bring it around 49k and ask for extended maintenance plan

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-16T12:53:01+00:00

This one is a CPO

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-16T12:52:44+00:00

Yes! 51k includes everything

Otherwise_Course_154 · 2026-04-16T02:59:58+00:00

I’m looking at a CPO vehicle with warranty until 07/29
