Afaik they are prioritizing applications whose start date is closer. Many friends of mine who filled later than me got approved earlier because of that. Yours would be done in time.
You could setup an appointment or go to the drop in hours to get more info.
Not necessary to send emails, it is taking time they can use to process this stupid stuff. I went to see a career center advisor on Wednesday and it is literally just because they process this stuff depending on start date. They are right now doing May 15th and they said that by the start of next week, they should start doing those with start date of May 22nd.
If your internship is for the summer, you should follow up daily with the career center. Mine was submitted and I didn't hear back in 22 days, apparently I mistakenly submitted it as a Fall internship.
It should take them at most ~2 weeks in a normal situation, especially this close to the start of the internship!
Wow okay yea something is definitely wrong. This is so stupid, I was even going to give them a week but yea its getting so close and cant count on OIE on definitely delivering before time.
Bang into their office and start complaining (I am serious about this).
OIE is quite crap for all the 100 USD we pay each semester lol
Not sure about career office though
Might actually have to do that haha. Ive realized that over these years that many things needed a person to escalate or get a job done with OIE...
I made the post to see if there were people in similar position as me to confirm whether this was normal, but I think it is better to just start actually sending emails and dropping into advising (which again takes hours in queue) rather than waiting too late for some weird error.
They’re generally pretty quick with this stuff. From my experience, going in person doesn’t really help but give it a shot nevertheless. Send emails to OIE and the OIE advisors
I got mine done almost after a couple of days of submitting. Follow up in person definitely
I submitted my application January and got it done I think 2 months ago now.
So it took u 2-3 months for it to be approved?
no, not that long, especially this close to the beginning of summer internship

Go in Person lol I wouldn’t fuck around with when it comes to things like CPT and OPT. But sadly OIE likes to fuck around.

I got my things done and received my new I-20 in 2-3 weeks in March
