Will your EAD card arrive before your first day of work? OPT Watcher turns your filing dates and processing choice into an estimated approval and card-arrival window. Compare Regular and Premium timelines, then see how they fit your job start. Free in your browser, with no signup or receipt number. Community-based estimates, not official case status or legal advice.

Hi Product Hunt! OPT Watcher helps international students connect three dates: OPT approval, EAD card arrival, and the first day of work. Enter your application dates to compare Regular and Premium Processing scenarios, or load the built-in example to try it immediately. The core calculators are free and require no account or receipt number. These are planning estimates based on self-reported community timelines, not official USCIS case status or guaranteed approval dates. What is hardest to plan while waiting for your EAD card? Feedback on the timeline and explanations would be especially helpful.
