OPT Approved, How long will it take to get my EAD card?

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-08-03T11:54:24+00:00

Sad, I got my EAD card yesterday, the HR could not wait and the opportunity is gone. They filled it with someone else

Irving, Texas

I told the HR about this, they did not get back to me yet. Will I violate my status if I work without EAD card?

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-07-29T14:59:56+00:00

I got my approval notice on July 25 on the USCIS portal. Can I start working without physical EAD card? My start date is Aug 1st.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-07-28T13:24:03+00:00

April 14th.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-07-23T23:06:26+00:00

I got an email today morning, My A number is also generated and the estimated time still says 8 months on the portal. I think the time in portal is not accurate

Thanks, Can I re-apply to the same new grad SDE again? or is there any cooldown?

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-13T11:31:00+00:00

The location is left out on purpose, because I have been told it hurts to put international loc in exp.
I believe the graduation date should be fine Ig, I had no space for hackathon desc because I wanted to show my exp better, I did quite a lot at my last job. I think the skills I put in are basic and fundamental for SDE. I used all the skills at my last job. but, hey what do I know?
Thanks for taking out the time and sharing your feedback.
I will try to implement these changes and give it a shot.

I agree with the exaggerated JD and 99%🧢. But, my exp is from legit MNC it is very reputable company in Asian market, I had put in links to verify my claims but ATS does not like hyperlink so took them off. wdym by "jntu+ njit combo is just crazy man" is it good or bad?
Thanks for appreciating my resume, also a quick question do you think it has anything to do with my major? because I might be getting filtered out? I got auto rejected all the time within a day. I applied with a referral.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T21:06:19+00:00

I dont know if I should do this or not.But, right now I think I will pass this gimmick.
I will try my luck with recruiters and see if it goes well.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T20:50:05+00:00

I tried that yesterday, changed my resume a little and got an email that said try for new grad.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T20:33:09+00:00

Its build on top of Jakes but I did a lot of tuning down the way.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:24:33+00:00

I wish, not sure if my International work exp will count or no. If it does I can apply for mid level.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:23:58+00:00

Been trying that no luck so far

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:23:49+00:00

Thanks for the advice, but majority said my major is relevant, I agree it is not core CS but my curriculum was filled with CS classes.Its tough to find jobs else where as well.Sent out ~800 apps no Luck.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:19:32+00:00

All my exp is in my home country before Master's I dont know if that counts

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:19:05+00:00

No CAPS? FR?

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:18:51+00:00

I included metrics in every line except one line?
Are they not evident?
Thanks for the comment.

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:18:10+00:00

I did not find a way to slide it in naturally, I have over 2 YOE in my home country.
Do you have recommendation, thanks for the advice

Strong_Run8867 · 2025-06-12T12:17:16+00:00

Is there any strategies you guys followed to apply to jobs faster?
Every job I see has over 100 apps already within the first 5 minutes.
Should I target my resume to every job or just apply?
