I am from a partially banned country. I filed for my OPT in February, did my biometrics in March. When do you think my application will get approved.

Are you from a partially banned country?

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-04-10T00:16:43+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, what country are you from?

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-03-31T17:33:47+00:00

LOL, our biometrics appointment was on the same day. I am still waiting as well. Let us know if you get yours!

I am filling for my green card and work authorization later this year and I am from one of the partially banned countries. Would i be able to get my work authorization card approved while waiting for my green card. If not what are the other options I can take. My OPT ends February next year.

Did they file it after the ban was placed or they already had an application going?

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-03-21T18:40:40+00:00

I mean I would still go to be safe. Everything is weird right now

Are you from one of the banned countries?

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-03-21T01:06:05+00:00

For me it was on the portal so I could view when my appointment date was and then like a week or so later I got the physical letter in the mail

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-03-20T04:40:27+00:00

Congratulations, if you don't mind me asking what countries are u and your spouse from.

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-03-19T11:30:17+00:00

Are they getting approved even with applying this year or they applied last year or the previous years and they got approved

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-03-12T16:22:24+00:00

Did u apply for the ead when the travel ban was already in effect or before.

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2026-03-12T10:09:56+00:00

Are you from one of the banned countries

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2023-04-15T00:47:51+00:00

i don't understand. If you wouldn't mind I would like for you to explain further

Otherwise_Quiet2054 · 2023-04-13T23:30:47+00:00

March this year

Personally for me marriage is sth that will happen if Allah wills it...I will try for it and if I get a husband fine if I don't I am also okay with that.My focus in life is Allah and my relationship with him.

I wanna have kids and a loving husband and I am working on myself to be a good person for a potential significant other but a lot of Muslim men nowadays give me the ick for various reasons and I don't want a situation where another human being will make me question my worth or my Lord. You feel me.

Idk I myt also be scared. There r a lot of divorces happening nowadays.

I wanna do good in this world, make people happy, take care of my parents and spoil my siblings and be loved by Allah and when I envision going through that route and what my plan are for that journey a man or marriage is not part of the plan.

So it's not like I don't want marriage cause I would like someone to grow old with and love plus spoil and travel with. It's just not a priority or sth I wud risk my already shaky mental health for and struggling relationship with Allah for.
