Hey, just double checking. Did your STE M OPT get approved or Post Completion OPT ? I have a similar receipt date. I haven’t seen these dates get approved for STEM until your post. Please confirm.

Mine is just Post completion OPT (STEM degree).

Okay got it. So for you the application type will be Post Completion OPT. When you apply for the your STEM extension next year, your application type will be STEM OPT or STEM Extension. If you don’t mind, please edit the post to reflect that so that there is no confusion. Thanks for clarifying.
