USCIS has recently suspended Form I-765 applications, including those for Optional Practical Training (OPT), for certain countries. This decision, announced just three weeks ago, significantly affects international students’ ability to change their status and file for Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) upon graduation.
Key Details:
- Suspension applies to Form I-765 for specific countries.
- Affects international students seeking OPT after graduation.
- Employment-based visas like EB-1A and NIW are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, even for PhD holders.
- The commitment for a US PhD program typically spans 6 to 7 years, adding to the challenges faced by international students.
This suspension creates additional hurdles for international students navigating their post-graduation employment options. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
