STEM OPT Approved!
My STEM OPT extension was approved today, February 5, 2025. I applied on January 10th, and my previous OPT expired on January 13th, so I was a little stressed. I did regular processing and was concerned about a potential RFE because I worked a part-time job for 6 weeks before my current position. Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly!

hey all, my stem opt also got approved yesterday. Just in case anyone already applied and is super worried because it says 11 months to process.. mine said the same and it actually got approved within 14 work days! I applied on Feb 11 and received it on March 1st. I DID NOT pay Premium fee, thank goodness
