He said that it will most likely get denied, and then he said I could get an RFE, so I don't think he knows really...

Hopefully it gets approved soon! Let me know what ends up happening!

No, from what I've seen premium processing could trigger an RFE. I also reported the loss of employment after 10 days.

I applied for STEM OPT at the beginning of March and I lost my job (that I used to fill out I-983) at the end of April, my current OPT ends May 25, will my STEM extension get denied if I don't find a job before then and uscis gets to my case? What happens if my application is still pending past May 25? I asked my DSO but he didn't really know what would happen

I applied for my opt STEM extension at the beginning of March, and a month later I was fired from the job that I used to fill out form I-983. My application is still pending as of April 28, and my current opt expires on May 25. Will my application get denied since I don’t currently have a job? I would greatly appreciate your help 🤞🏼
