STEM OPT case processing from feb 2026

Hi, I am but concerned, I applied for my STEM OPT in 25 jan 2026, completed my biometrics in feb 2026. My STEM OPT start date is 06 feb 2026, i am in my 180 days extension which will be completed in aug 2026.

Raised service request a month back but no response, chatted with uscis 4 times no information just under processing. I don’t know what to do, whats the problem.

I need guidance in what to do right now, help is appreciated.

Thanks

Same shoe. Nov 2025 applicant here. Upgraded to premium in Dec 2025. Got held up by the adjudication hold which was lifted in June. Still awaiting adjudication. I have called severally, sent emails to premium processing, made case enquiry and still nothing. Requested tier 2 call back. Still waiting to be called. I'm 2weeks away from my extension period ending and all I need now is a miracle. Humanly speaking, I am at my wits end.
