Summer Internship - Delayed OPT?
Hi all,
I was fortunate to receive an offer to intern at a BB in IB this upcoming summer. For those who are international students, you guys know the struggle we go through to find an internship.
I am really scared that I won't have my EAD card in time for my internship. I applied on March 12, and my internship starts on June 4. I haven't received any updates other than the case Receipt Number this: "Notice Was Returned To USCIS Because The Post Office Could Not Deliver It" - I had the wrong address but already changed and my school said this will not delay the application.
USCIS says that the application takes 90 days, but only 85 will have gone by before I start.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Is it ok to miss the first week of training? Could I attend training unpaid until my EAD cards arrive?
Thank you so much for all the help!
