Discuss babuofusa's OPT USCIS Case

I fee like Indian applications at the Texas Service Center are taking the longest. All other applications from different centers and other countries are moving faster :(

Our cases look really similar...
Filed on the same day and received by the same service center on the same day. And we are even from the same university!!!
Mine is still pending. How about yours?

mine is approved on july 16th, i have not updated here, i will once i hear if my EAD was oredered or mailed.

Hi what did your case status change to? My file was received on 21st May and the online status is, "case was received"

Online status shows Case was approved 9am EDT 22July2015
Online status shows Card was mailed 11am EDT 22July2015
Online status shows card was delivered and USPS 2-day priority mail tracking number is available 2pm EDT 22July2015
Tracking number shows card was mailed 21July2015
Tracking number shows card was delivered 10am 22July2015 to an individual.
It was not delivered to my home address. Called university's international office. I was told they can't check if it was delivered, if it was delivered, a new I-20 will be issued then only I can get the EAD and new I-20. (so may be in next 5 business days, Thank God my start date is 10Aug2015)
