chaitanya uppuluri Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hello, I am an OPT student. My initial OPT EAD was set to expire on June 15th. I submitted my application for a STEM OPT extension EAD to USCIS a day late, on June 16th. I did receive a receipt notice acknowledging my submission. As of now, it has been around 60 days since I submitted my OPT application, and my case is still under review. Upon checking USCIS processing times, I found a message that states, "If you have any questions, please contact us after October 15, 2023." I have a few questions: 1. Am I currently considered out of status? 2. Despite receiving the receipt notice that acknowledges my submission to USCIS, could you clarify if I am at risk of being out of status? Thank you.

Attorney_14 Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 If an individual submits a late filed STEM extension, they should not rely on the 180 day extension as the STEM Extension could be denied. In order to receive a detailed analysis of your case, it would be a good idea to schedule a consult with one of our attorneys. Quote Link to comment
