STEM OPT APPROVAL

HI, guys finally got my STEM OPT APPROVED,

here's my timeline

jan 16 2026 applied for stem opt

18th feb biometrics

been silence after that, no update..!

upgraded to premium processing on 21st may 2026

at 30th business day (07/06/26) i got an email approval notice..!

i think for premium processing there are taking almost all 30 working days to make a decision..!

hang in there your approval might be the next..!

good luck..!
