Hi y'all, 

 

On January 19th, I submitted my docs to USCIS via USPS in order to get my STEM OPT approved. 

 

However, USPS tracking records shows me that the last time they scanned my package was on January 27th and it's on the way. Nobody from USPS can tell me if my package was delivered or lost. 

 

I still did not receive any receipt number from USCIS and am getting worried since it's been almost a month and my deadline is April 1st. 

 

Yesterday I found out that my money order has been cashed. Does that mean that USCIS has my case and it's been processed? 

 

Would you guys recommend me to apply again? 

 

Please, lmk if anybody else is having the same issue and how to proceed in this case. 

 

Have a great weekend!

Fernando

when you see the check is cashed ,  you will know

 

most of the hold up now is because of weather (in the entire country even here in western TN a friend told me they have no mail to deliver because the big trucks couldn't get thru and the snow is not melting as temps are in the 20'2 and 30's
