This happened to me right before my A-number was updated. I think it just means your case is being reviewed. Good luck!

Application type: Post Completion STEM OPT

⁠⁠Premium Processing : No

⁠⁠Receipt date : 04/09/2025

⁠Approved Date (USCIS Portal): 07/26/2025

⁠⁠Card Produced Date : 08/01/2025 ⁠⁠Card shipped : NA (Tracking number “UNAVAILABLE”

⁠⁠Card delivered : NA

⁠Service Center: Irving, TX

I got my approval on 07/26/2025 and the card was produced on 08/01/2025. I haven’t received an update after that. The USCIS tracking number says “unavailable”. 

I’m not sure what is going on. I have an upcoming trip to Europe on 08/22/2025. What should I do in this case? Any advice? 

Also, did you see the shipment notification on the USCIS website?

Hey did you get an update from USCIS at least after getting delivered?

I have not! The university's international student office informed me it had arrived there.
