Satisfaction

"We built TrackMyOPT because we were tired of seeing brilliant friends lose their status due to simple deadline errors."

In 2021, I watched my roommate pack his bags and leave the country. He had missed his OPT reporting deadline by 3 days. It wasn't because he was irresponsible—he was overwhelmed.

The US immigration system is a black box designed for lawyers, not students. We realized that international talent needs more than just legal advice; they need an operating system for their life in America.
