F1struggle Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I was planning to apply in mid-april once I submit my thesis. however, I already have a job that I can continue into which means I would like to start work on June 1. I'm trying to find out how long the approval process takes currently? Link to comment
catx Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 It depends on the USCIS service center for submitting your I-765 application for employment authorization. The USCIS standard processing time for I-765 applications for F-1 OPT is 3 months. You can submit your I-765 application 90 days before the completion of your degree. Link to comment
