Is TrackMyOPT Pro Worth It?

Bottom Line

2. USCIS case updates

Pro checks your USCIS case status daily and emails you when a status changes.

3. STEM OPT tasks

Keep your STEM OPT timeline, unemployment clock, and relevant reminders together. Confirm employer E-Verify requirements directly with the employer and your DSO.

4. Career tools

Use higher AI resume and ATS scan limits, continuous Chrome prefill, Guided Autopilot, and full H-1B sponsor research.

Compare current plans and choose the level of reminders, monitoring, and career support you want.
