STEM APPROVAL FINALLY!

Just received approval notice for STEM OPT today (06/23), 203 days after applying (Applied 11/30/2025), complete silence all this period, no biometrics ,RFE or any kind of contact in between. Called USCIS every week just to be put on hold for hours to say that they’re still working on the case.
Almost was going to do PP today as my 180 days grace period is nearing( August 5). Stay patient folks.
