OPT Premium Processing Delay - WORRIED
Hey everyone,
Just trying to see if anyone else is in the same boat or has any insight into what’s happening with late April processing timelines.
Here’s my timeline so far:
Applied (Post-Completion OPT w/ Premium Processing): 4/15
Biometrics appointment: 4/29
Status: That same day (4/29), my premium processing clock reset.
Since then… complete silence. No approval, no updates, nothing.
From what I’ve been tracking online and talking to others, it seems like people who completed biometrics with the PP reset b/w 4/26 and 4/29 are hitting a massive wall and expecting much longer delays compared to the folks who filed right before 4/21 (who seemed to cruise right through).
Why is there such a massive discrepancy for late April applicants? Has anyone else who did biometrics around 4/29 seen any movement, or are we all just stuck in the same black hole?
Appreciate any insights or shared timelines!
