Hello Friends,

 

I have applied for OPT Ext on July 29th 2013(doc reached)  and my inital OPT will expire on this Aug 26th 2013..  So far its been more than 20 days still i haven't received I-797 Notice Of Action   from USCIS,

 

I have called USCIS and they said to wait for 30 days, .

 

Experts please give me your valuable suggestions ..

Do you have evidence that you sent the application well before OPT expiry and that it was delivered well before?

 

As soon as you get the receipt notice, if the receipt date is after your OPT expiry, send a copy of that evidence to them quoting the receipt number and write a cover letter explaining that you applied well before expiry and the fact that USCIS took possession of your application late was beyond your control.

 

The evidence will also be helpful in case of an appeal or MTR.

 

It may not happen, but best be prepared.
