Students on F-1 visas are struggling with the chaotic US immigration system. Optional Practical Training (OPT) work permits face record delays, even for those paying extra for premium processing.
Irregular Approval Timelines
The worst part is the inconsistency. Some students with the same receipt dates get approvals, while others wait endlessly with no updates.
Real Case of Delay
One student shared they applied for premium processing on August 27. The process usually takes two to three weeks, yet after a month they still had no response.
Systemic Issues
These delays are not random. The US government is tightening work permits and targeting immigration programs. Lawmakers are questioning OPT, STEM OPT, and H-1B visas, creating an unprecedented crisis for international students.
Limited Options for Students
Students are trying to support each other, but the anti-immigration wave makes solutions harder. If you apply for OPT or STEM OPT, expect delays. Stay in touch with your DSO and contact authorities when needed.
