Hi I..I applied for my post opt on 10th November...when I check my status it shows the acceptance date as 16th November.. but still the status is initial review. Its been around 2 months but still status has not changed. Is this thing normal?? I am suppose to join my company in Feb ..will I get opt on time?

Its true my received date is nov 19 . Nothing yet only initial review

It will take almost exactly 90 days for your OPT to get processed. Expect it to arrive on your address like 1-2-3 before the 90 day mark. Dont worry everything will be fine.. This is just normal. Congratz on your job.. What do you work as ???

My acceptance date is Nov 15th, but even my status is still in initial review. I heard people say that it will move to card/ Document production in like no time (overnight sometimes). My friend's receipt date is November 6th and her status is now card/doc production

In the same boat - Receipt is dated 5th Nov, still in initial review!

same condition my reciept date is nov 9th and i had my start date in application to be jan 15th but still in initial review. All my friends who have applied after me have their opt cards in hand this is what worries me.

I was in the same situation, I applied on Nov 6, however it's just changed form Initial Review to Card/ Document Production today, Keep on checking on uscis.gov, someone said we don't have to worry about the decision as OPT is foreign student's right, hope all get their OPT Cards and good projects asap. Hope this information helps
