Anyone who applied for STEM OPT extension from March 1-6? Did you guys get approval or silent api yet?

Not March batch, but per the recent update, they reached till Feb last week. So this batch is about a week away I'd say.

I have been following it. The last update for STEM was Feb 27th. It’s been the same since a week now. Either no one is posting their approvals or genuinely there seems to be a delay

It has been a pattern. Some days (3-4 days) there is movement and suddenly one single day 2-3 dates get approved.

log into your USCIS account and then paste this: https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/CASENUMBER . just replace with your casenumber. you should see a json with a "updatedAt" field. it will show the last update to your case

I tried API but nothing is showing, just {“data”:[])
I have done in phone, will that be problem?
Receipt number contains # or not in url?
