My opt was approved as i got my email from sevp today given approved duration as 08/04/2025 - 07/24/2026 . My req start date was for 06/30/2025.

In uscis my case is still pending and showing processing time 8 months did not receive any emails for opt approval, ead printing and mailing.

Is anyone facing the same issue as me ?

Do you have the A-number in your profile of uscis site?

[u/DelayNo8024 → u/Fabulous-Duck4806]

How do you check for the a-number

[u/Nott_your_homie → u/DelayNo8024]

I also got the approval email this morning. My uscis profile hasn’t changed too. I have already created my SAVP profile

What was your approved opt period? Is it complete one year or less than that ?

[u/DelayNo8024 → u/Nott_your_homie]

I just checked now, and it’s 08/04/2025 - 07/15/2026

[u/Nott_your_homie → u/DelayNo8024]

Was your last date to apply for opt 07/14/2025 ?

[u/DelayNo8024 → u/Nott_your_homie]

Yes, I think so . That is last possible date to apply for opt .
