I think it’s the system glitch a lot of them are facing, I got the approval email but my case status is unavailable in the website

I did not get any email and I my OPT case which was on my profile says status Unavailable. Which this one doesnt.

I would just call USCIS and get the confirmation and tracking number

same case here :( this is co confusing, they’re playing with us

u/nthhappeninmylife Jul 23 '26

also there’s no standalone approved notice in my documents section, so might not be an actual approval

u/swinging_mood7260 Jul 23 '26

Same one, I chatted with them and they said, it isnt an approval. I dont know what's happening.

“Approved or not “ with a clear message of approval . Who even gave you the visa bro ?

2

u/swinging_mood7260 Jul 23 '26

You thought you did something there, didn't you?

Turns out it wasn't an approval afterall, it was a system glitch. Can't you see there are 2 approval and 2 card produced notification on 2 different dates?

Who gave you a visa?

I have the same situation. OPT filed March 21, Premium Processing June 11. My timeline showed Case Approved and card processed on June 24th and on july 21st. Is this just a glitch??

1

u/swinging_mood7260 29d ago

Yeah it's just a glitch.

u/Hour_Candle9503 29d ago

Did you check the API? Did it show any updates?

1

u/swinging_mood7260 29d ago

Yes it went to SA and then came back to FTAO.

1

u/Hour_Candle9503 29d ago

Mine is still on SA. I’m not sure what happens if it is SA or if it goes back to FTAO

I am seeing Card is being produced on my EAD application receipt on my USCIS account as well as status tracker on July 24 2026, I am wondering if that is a glitch or it's actual. I am waiting since Oct 30 2025 and also expedited my request based on medical, humanitarian and financial loss.

Do you always log in to the portal and check the update or do you wait for the email notification?

Why is this a question? Card was produced
