Hi Everyone,

I am using my OPT to look for a job, still looking/volunteering. It will expire in 4 months (non-STEM). I want to apply work permit through TPS. I had applied TPS (didn't apply for work permit though TPS) the last it was extended (right before it was terminated). I think we don't have to renew if we have renewed the last time?

I want to apply work permit through TPS once my OPT expires because I want to save my f-1 status as well. But it will be too late. So, how early do you guys recommend me to apply for work permit through TPS because I am trying avoid any gaps in between. I am getting some interviews,so I am really hoping to find a job soon but again I don't want to face work permit issues. Is it taking more than 90 days to get an approval? What are the ways or any tips to get it faster, if there is any? Please feel free to share your experience or advice.
