The delay of producing EAD cards are taking a toll on international students! We are now risking losing our jobs! We need the job to pay rent and live a life! Please take actions immediately @USCIS @USCISDirector @cisombudsman

@USCIS @SpoxUSCIS Urgent: The normal processing time for OPT EAD applications is about to exceed 90 days, despite your website claiming a 5-week timeframe for 80% of cases. Why are you providing false information? We deserve answers. #Transparency #AccountabilityNeeded

@USCIS Can you help international students by producing EAD cards for Normal Processing applicants? Almost one month since approval - we still haven’t received the card and we are losing unemployment days (even jobs)! Please take care of ALL your applicants!

@USCIS @DHSgov Many people lost their job due to not receiving cards on time. Applicants with normal processing who got approved are helpless as they can do nothing to speed up the process, while USCIS prioritizes premium cases in production. Please produce cards by approval date @USCIS

@USCIS @DHSgov Hey USCIS, early applicants with Normal Processing are still waiting for our EAD cards. It’s almost 30 days since approval and we are losing unemployment days! We demand immediate actions! #uscis #ead #opt

@USCIS promised that normal processing won’t be affected by the pricy Premium. But processing for Normal cases are now over 78 days versus the average historical wait time of 4 weeks, please complete printing the cards for Normal applications too, ASAP. Careers are at risk. #EAD

Giving priority to applicants with urgent cases should not come at the expense of delaying normal processing cases. Is the premium option merely serving as a cash cow? We are desperately seeking answers. @USCISMediaSouth @USCISMediaNorth @USCISMediaCntrl @USCISMediaWest

@SpoxUSCIS @USCIS It has been 3 months since I applied for OPT EAD, and it has been almost 1 month since my work approval. However, due to the prioritization of premium processing cases in card production, I have lost an entire month's paycheck.

@USCIS Premium Processing has led to an increase in normal processing times from 30 to 74 days. More and more people are forced to either pay the outrageous fee (bribe) of $1500 or lose their job. Why do international students have to go through so much stress and uncertainty?

@USCIS The production halt has affect all OPT applicants who has not had their cards yet for more than two weeks. I am here to urge USCIS for an increased production capacity to remedy the delay. People are left unable to work. @uscis @USCISDirector

@USCIS Could you expedite EAD card production for international students? We are waiting desperately due to the issues in your card production system. During unemployment days, we can not work, do not have income, and suffer from extreme anxiety. Please do something. #opt #USCIS

@USCIS Please produce our I-765 EAD card and deliver them to us ASAP. I'm stuck at "card being produced" since 6/15 and there are many more applicants like this. This puts us on the brink of losing our hard-earned jobs! It's an earnest request to finish card production & delivery by Frd

Endless waiting waiting and waiting. From 4.19 to today, I still didn’t got my rad card produced! I paid $2000 and push my start date later and later! When will the card be produced? I need my card!!! @USCIS

The uncertainty of the opt card production timeline is throwing so many international students in the darkness! Even paid for premium processing, we still have to wait around a month to get their cards after approval. This is non sense…@USCIS

@USCIS @BetsyRossHouse Please process our EAD print and deliver it ASAP its been more than 80 days since my application. I am not asking anything for free, I paid for the application atleast work effectively If you don't have manpower, hire us, we will work for you @USCIS @USCISDirector @cisombudsman

had to reschedule my job start date 4 times coz of uscis, Applied for EAD on 12th april, premium processing:31 may, it’s still in production since 15th,my ead start date is 6 june and i am already suffering my 14th unemployment day due to uscis. Really disheartning @USCIS

@USCIS @SpoxUSCIS @USCISDirector

Allow F1-OPT students to start work with Standalone Approval Notice https://t.co/eyIkUrDwF2 via @Change @USCIS

@cisombudsman I have already paid a premium processing fee of $1500, waited two weeks, and even postponed my work start date twice. Please let us work with approval notice @USCIS @USCISDirector @nytimes
