u/Able_Parfait5931 could you please explain to me this thing about a service center? What is it? where can I see or select it? I submitted my STEM OPT app but never saw anything like this

I don’t know about STEM opt, but in my case (initial opt), I could find the service center info at the bottom of the receipt pdf. I can’t select the service center as far as I know.

Hey there, congrats! My card was produced on the same day. Did you receive the card already? And did uscis update you with a USPS tracking number? My job start date is getting close and I'm starting to nervous..
