Stem extension EAD late application

[chaitanya uppuluri]

Hi,

I am a student on Opt. My initial OPT EAD was expiring on june 15th. I submitted my application for stem OPT extension EAD to USCIS late, i.e., on June 16th, but I received my receipt notice.

I haven't received my case decision yet and my case is still under review.

I verified my processing time in USCIS tools and it shows 'if you have any questions please contact after October 15 2023.

Am I currently considered out of status?

Or since I received my Receipt notice and I would have 90 day grace period, would I go out of status after September 15 2023?

If an individual submits a late filed STEM extension, they should not rely on the 180 day extension as the STEM Extension could be denied.
