Let us try to gather some (arguably not-that-useful) data about OPT recipients. Please comment below if you would like to add anything! TC: 193k YoE: 0 Sorry I forgot the 🍿 just use ‘Other’ I guess?
I know someone who applied feb5th and still hasn’t received . His was based on spouse marriage though, so don’t know if it goes to a different pipeline
It's 115 days for F1 OPT. Receipt to Card being printed.
Friends who applied before feb end got it in less than or around 90 days. Wait increased substantially for people who applied mid March onwards
I think it’s not just OPT that is delayed but all EAD applications. I know someone who applied Feb 20, and just got their card today.
Wow... I know a MS student who applied in January and got it within 6 weeks. Guess that was the last of the off-season.
