You knew already that OPT process takes a long time. Why didn't you think of these stuffs earlier? 

 

If you are working right now, stop working I guess, ask for a leave. Else, Find a lawyer or ask with your DSO.

please provide me suggestions this tension is killing me ..

 

Thanks..

Relax, that's the suggestion. You got nothing to do currently.

Remember, you can continue working when your ext is under process.

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.
