Why we exist
The immigration system is designed for lawyers, not students.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of international students and workers navigate the U.S. immigration system — often alone, often confused, and often one missed deadline away from losing their status.
Official government websites are dense and hard to navigate. Immigration attorneys charge hundreds of dollars per hour. Reddit threads are full of conflicting advice.
StatusClock exists to fill that gap — with clear checklists, AI-assisted answers, deadline tracking, and plain-language guides that actually make sense.
OPT application windows that close faster than you expect
STEM OPT extensions with 9 phases most students don't know about
H-1B cap lotteries with no guarantee of selection
RFEs that arrive with 87-day deadlines and complex requirements
Green card priority dates that move forward and backward
What we stand for
Our values
Clarity over complexity
U.S. immigration is notoriously confusing. We break it down into plain language, step-by-step checklists, and actionable deadlines — no legalese.
Accuracy you can trust
Every checklist and guide is based on official USCIS, DOL, and DOS sources. We flag when rules change and remind you that a licensed attorney is always the safest choice.
Speed when it matters
Missing an immigration deadline can have life-altering consequences. StatusClock surfaces the right action at the right time so nothing slips through the cracks.
Built for immigrants, by people who get it
We understand the anxiety of being in status limbo, the confusion of an RFE, and the complexity of transitioning from F-1 to H-1B to Green Card. We've lived it.
Who we are
The team behind StatusClock
A small team that went through the immigration process and decided to build the tool we wished existed.
Built by immigrants
StatusClock was created by people who went through the F-1 → OPT → H-1B pipeline and wished there was a better resource. We know the stress firsthand.
Not a law firm
We're engineers and designers, not attorneys. We partner with licensed immigration lawyers to verify our content, but StatusClock is an information tool — not legal counsel.
Independent & focused
We're a small, independent team. No VC pressure to upsell you. Our goal is to make immigration navigation accessible to every international student, regardless of budget.
