OPT Tracker is a free community tool that aggregates real processing timelines from F-1 students going through the OPT and STEM OPT EAD process. Unlike USCIS's broad estimates, our data comes directly from applicants — showing exact dates for submission, biometrics, approval, card production, and delivery across all four USCIS service centers.
Whether you're planning around a job start date, booking travel, or simply trying to understand where your case stands, OPT Tracker gives you the community-sourced context that official sources can't.
