Discuss Peivandi's OPT USCIS Case

Hey Peivandi! Good luck with your OPT! May I ask if you had to go through administrative processing for your F-1 visa and if yes how much it took? I recently applied for OPT and was just trying to figure out if this effects the OPT process! Thanks!

You have to be in F-1 Status to be able to apply for the OPT. You may have a expired F1 visa thought. I don't understand your questions.

Hi Peivandi! How did you manage to expedite your application? How many days it took USCIS to grant expedite after sending your supporting documents Thanks!

I called the costumer service and requested the expedite service. After 4 days they emailed me instructions to fax supporting documents (cover letter and job offer letter) and they accepted it in the same day.

Do you know how much this thing takes after being expedited?

Couple of days I guess... Did you use severe financial loss reason?

Yes.

Hey Peivandi, when was your start date?

Start date is irrelevant for the expedited service. If you have a case then make the call. I have not reached the start date yet.
