OPT Extension - Alien number change

[Mighty1]

Hi Guys,

I Applied for OPT extension in October(Oct 22), Now my status changed as

Initial Review ( It been in initial review since I got my receipt number but with October 22 date.)

On January 2, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

My normal processing time ends by January 22 (90 days from the date of application), so I called this no 1-800-375-5283 the person who answer my call said He gonna put a request to USCIS regarding my case (since I haven’t received any letter from USCIS) and he gave me a reference number. I was informed if I didn’t get any response within 15 days after this request was made, he want me call back.

What I am suppose to do? What is this alien number change? Am I gonna get any RFE?

My concern is did I miss any letter or something from USCIS? My driving License going to expire in 10 days and my HR is keep on asking for the EAD even though I mention to her I can continue work for 180 days in the case of my application pending. In order to set everything in place I need this approval as soon as possible, please help me.

Thank you for your Help

That's fine. Something internal to USCIS's processing.
