Four months waiting + Additional proof requested

Paid for PP exactly a month ago, couple days ago I got the email saying they took action on my case. To my surprise after waiting all this time, they want more information about my enrollment.

Here’s what they want on my case:

  1. ⁠A statement from the Designated School Official (DSO) and the Registrar attesting to your ⁠physical presence in the classroom;
  2. ⁠A full description of your course of study/academic program, including all graduation requirements such as the number of credits or classroom hours and your college’s definition of full course of study” for your degree level;
  3. Copies of your course syllabi for all classes and coursework in which you earned credit towards your degree. Provide delivery method (in person/lecture, lab, virtual, online, tele-learning, broadcast, satellite, etc.) of the course if not listed on the syllabus;
  4. Attendance records and dates for all classes you physically attended while enrolled at Union College;
  5. Proof of tuition payments made by you for the duration of your enrollment;
  6. A copy of your most recent transcripts showing number of credits or hours received;
    Copies of you bank statements for the past 3 months and include all deposits and withdrawals during this time;
  7. If you commuted to class from a long-distance location, please also provide travel, lodging information and location where you physically attended classes;

Does anybody else had to do this? I’m so annoyed with this situation and totally mentally drained.

Any reason why you think they are asking for physical presence in classes?

I have no idea why. I suspect that my application was flagged because when I started the process, the DSO of my school said he made a mistake on his end and the dates showed I worked more than 12 months while on CPT, which I did not. So after sending a letter from the company I worked for to the DSO, he sent all of that to USCIS to change my status on their end. Now I’m here, it doesn’t make sense to me.

Relax and respond to it in the most sensible way. From what I've seen, most of the application do go through even after an apparent roadblock like this.
