making a thread so we don't spam the channel

#

the opt will start on the requested date, right?even if you don't get the card by then

grizzled prism
#

Yea make sense

#

It depends on the approval date i guess

random obsidian
#

oh the start date will be after the approval date?

#

no right. the last possible start dtae is 60 days after your graduation i thought

grizzled prism
#

Yes typically it should be on the date u received the card

#

Yea but we need to apply before 60 days and have a start date

random obsidian
#

oh that's good then, right? if you don't have a job? because then you're getting more time?

grizzled prism
#

If they delay it than they gonna give u time

random obsidian
#

yeah but the max possible start date you can request is the 60-day mark right

#

oh so yeah we might get more time?!

grizzled prism
#

Yea in that sense its good

#

I have a job and waiting for the card right now 😅

random obsidian
#

because normally it would be 60+90 days but rn for me it's 50 days after graduation, so it'll be 50+40+90? (assuming 40 days for my ead to arrive)

#

random obsidian

frosty gale

frosty gale
#

how do i find such employers?

random obsidian
#

there's places like Rnd4impact and zenativity that will charge you $500/month so you can get good projects and some mentorship, but there's places that won't make you pay

frosty gale
#

will check them out, thanks

#

But hey I heard it’s taking approximate 2 months 10 days to get approved from the day you applied for ead

random obsidian
#

yeah that's a month after my start date for me

#

wait, to get approved? or to get your card?

#

so it could be even longer to get the carD?

grizzled prism
#

Any idea about pp?

#

Can we ask employers to pay for this ? 😅
