Hello All,
I sent all my documents to USCIS(California Service Center) to apply for an OPT and received e-mail and text with a receipt number yesterday. I am now in initial review stage. On my newly issued I-20 for an OPT, the date starts from September 2, 2014 to September 1, 2015.
I already have a job offer and they want me to start working in the first week of September. I know that it could take up to 90 days to get an OPT.
My concerns are
1. What if I don't get any responses from USCIS until end of August? If I don't hear anything from them until later in August, [U]when can I expedite my case[/U]?
2. Does anyone applied through California Services Center and still waiting for an EAD card? When did you submit your application?
One more thing:
I entered into U.S. as a B-1 Visitor and my mom changed her status to F-1. I was her dependent as F-2 about 2 years and then I also changed my status to F-1 when I went to college.
When I applied for an OPT, I attached the I-20s from F-2 status years as well because my school international advisor told me to do so.
I am concerned that I missed one I-20 from 2008 to 2009 when I was in F-2 status, but I submitted all I-20s from my college years.
Does anyone get RFE because of missing I-20s from the previous status? Please help!
Thanks in advance.
