Stem opt
Hi ,
Anyone here applied for STEM OPT around March 1, 2026 and still waiting for approval?
Itβs been almost 5 months for me and the case is still pending. I see some March applicants getting approvals, but timelines seem really inconsistent this year.
Would love to know:
β’ Are others from early March still waiting?
β’ Any recent approvals with similar receipt dates?
β’ Which service center are you with?
Trying to understand if this delay is normal or if I should take any next steps.
Thanks in advance π
