We welcome the announcement from USCIS this afternoon addressing the delays in OPT receipts, and look forward to further discussions to address the remaining issues, including processing times. #OPTdelay #f1optlockboxdelay #StudentOPTVisaDelay

@J199002oey @AliMayorkas @USCIS We are aware of the extended processing times, and will address this with USCIS. The OPT regulations were drafted with the expectation that applications would be adjudicated in a short period of time. Students follow the rules, USCIS should as well.

[Robert Cohen @RobCohenEsq]

We are moving forward in discussions with the Government on the class action for delayed OPT receipts and adjudications. Visit https://t.co/bhKNSN3sco for updates #OPTdelay #f1optlockboxdelay #StudentOPTVisaDelay

[Robert Cohen @RobCohenEsq]

We have filed a class action against @USCIS & @ICEgov to restore the many foreign students suffering as a result of delays processing receipts & applications for #OPT. Get more info: https://t.co/cyObFIU5r3 #OPTdelay #f1optlockboxdelay #StudentOPTVisaDelay

@ckuck @RobCohenEsq @USCIS Part 3: Lockbox employees are working during night and in the weekends. Meanwhile, potomac works only during the business hours and not on weekend. @USCIS what is your plan on for approving the pending applications? 1500 approvals per day can clear the backlog in 2 weeks!

[NoMoreOptDelay @OptMore]

@ckuck @RobCohenEsq @USCIS Part 4: @USCIS The best solution would have been- allowing initial opt students to start working with the receipt and update their SEVIS with the opt start date. This easy solution could have saved troubles for all parties. @USCIS Why dont you think about it?

[NoMoreOptDelay @OptMore]

@ckuck @RobCohenEsq @USCIS @USCIS keeps saying delay in receipting the applications does not affect delivery date. MISLEADING! This delay in receipting already caused delay in approving the applications. If not, @USCIS please explain why for same delivery date, apps sent to AZ got approval, but not TX.

@ckuck @RobCohenEsq @USCIS There is nothong for inital opt applicants. International students includong STEM PhDs are losaing legal status and training opportunities.

NAFSA continues to engage with @DHSgov and members of Congress on the severe #f1optlockboxdelay impacting #intlstudents and to push @USCIS to announce solutions ASAP. Retweet the following recommendations to show your support! #intled

I officially lost my job today.
Thank you @USCIS

Was supposed to save people's lives at ICU in hospital. I still don't understand why you block nurses who are fully ready, and complain about shortage of nurses.

I waited 96 days, no receipt, no EAD, nothing. #f1optlockboxdelay

[USCIS @USCIS]

These delays will not affect the receipt date which is determined pursuant to federal regulations. Delays may vary among form types and lockbox locations. In some cases, you may experience significant delays if you filed a Form I-485 or Form I-765.
