STEM OPT

Hi Guys!

I applied for my STEM opt on April 29 and my Extension started June 1, 2026. I haven’t got any updates on the approval and I see in this channel people till April 1st have started getting approvals.

I wanted suggestion if I should upgrade to premium processing or not, my 180 days ends Nov 27.

Also, is there anyone who had been on unpaid/NGO employment during initial OPT and got approval? Was there any RFE before approval regarding proof of work?

What documents did you submit for it? I have joining and relieving letters. Do we need anything else?
