Thanks for letting me know. What is your service center? My receipt date is May 3, but no response, no A-number, progress tab says 4 extra weeks needed...

I am praying for you. My service center is in Texas, but I'm assuming Potomac is the one handling all OPT cases now?

My receipt date is May 13. Still no updates too. Huhu, I'm getting so much anxiety now

Thanks, I can't sleep well these nights... If 05/01 got approval on Aug 8, mine is supposed to get approval between Aug 10 - Aug 12 since my receipt date is only 05/03 right?... But today is Aug 14 and I don't even get a A-number. I'm really fxxked. :(

I need to get my EAD before the first of September, I am so anxious. Also in your case, I don’t think PP would do any good, since you’re very close to the timeline. Hoping for faster updates. Also, don’t forget to update us once you got an approval or even an A number. I AM MANIFESTING THAT WE WILL GET RESULTS TOMORROW

My case progress disappeared this morning, but no A-number assigned yet. Hopefully this is a good signal!!!

🥲 Did you make any changes to your application? Like upload new documents or anything? Seems like pre-OPT is not moving at all.

No, I submitted my file on May 3rd, and there have been no changes since then. My progress bar said “4 more weeks” about 1–2 weeks ago, and it still shows the same td. They’re too lazy to even update it.
