Initial OPT period

My OPT was pending since mid of December and I got the approval today.

In the email it is stated that

Starting validity 6-23-2026
Ending validity 2-28-2027

Does anyone have this experience? If so, should I do anything? Could this be fixed?

Thanks

How long approximately does it take to get the final decision if the case already arrived the final step (adjudication)?

I am asking for a friend.

Thanks

Any updates from the premium processing unit

Did anyone try to call the premium processing unit to check on updates after the ruling came in Friday?

BTW, I contacted Emma and noticed a difference in the language. Usually, they tell me my application is adjudicated pending. Today, Emma said it is under review and you will see the update on your portal. I felt there is something happening internally

What do you think?

Surprisingly timestamp update

I’m waiting on my EAD since Dec 2025 and last time I saw an update on the timestamp (API) was in mid January. Today, I saw a new update, does this mean anything?

No lawsuit joined
