OPT Delay Causing Employer Offer Revocation
OPT Delay Causing Employer Offer Revocation
The Problem
International students on F-1 visas face severe delays in Optional Practical Training (OPT) processing. These delays often lead to employers revoking job offers because the candidate cannot provide the necessary Employment Authorization Document (EAD) in time.
Solution
Applicants often use the USCIS expedite request process if they meet specific criteria, such as severe financial loss. Maintaining constant communication with the employer regarding the status of the application is essential to manage expectations.
