1st time OPT EAD request
Hello All,

Below is my case for 1st time OPT EAD:

- USCIS received my case at Potomac Center on 23rd March
- Case transferred Nebraska Office on 26th March
- Case transferred to California Office because of work load on 16th June
- Case transferred to Potomac Center on 10th Aug

What I tried doing until now:

- Called at least 6 times to see what can be done and when can I receive an update?
- Got Info pass appointment and no answer there as well, they said normal processing time is 3-5 months (It's more than 5 months now.)
- Raised an Expedite request on 3rd Aug (which is more than 30 days).
- Tried raising E-request on the portal almost everyday since last 1 month, unsuccessful.
- Tried talking to the Senator office they were nice to help me give some updates that the case has been assigned to a Senior Officer for review

WHAT can be done? How much more should I wait? This is my first time OPT EAD request. I do have an offer from a company as well.

PLEASE help me out if any options which I can try.
