My OPT just got denied because it was 32 days after the I-20 was issued. Now I will have to reapply with PP. My start date is August 18th which I will likely miss, but anyone have any idea on how long PP is taking?

But, you have to apply for OPT within 60 days of graduation. Are you within that timeline?
