Anyone still waiting on STEM OPT Premium Processing (July 6 upgrade)?
Hi everyone,
I upgraded my pending STEM OPT I-765 application to Premium Processing on July 6, 2026, but I still haven’t received a decision.
My 180-day automatic work authorization extension is ending soon, so I’m getting pretty anxious.
Is anyone else who switched to Premium Processing around July 6 still waiting? If you’ve already been approved, when did you receive your approval?
I’d appreciate hearing your timeline (PP date, approval date, and whether it was an approval, RFE, etc.). Thanks!
