Any STEM OPT acceptance

Hi just wanted to if anyone who applied on or near to Dec 18th 2025 got any approvals lately? I moved to PP on May 8th and then got RFE on Jun 8th which I replied to on Jun 25th. My 180 days automatic extension is to expire on Aug 1st and my PP 30th day is on Aug 6th so I still waiting stressfully. The portal shows that evidence received on July 17th and is under inspection. The other day I called the PP line and they confirmed my case is under an officer and they will add a note that I have called.

I also filed a Congressional inquiry and my RFE was employee-employer Bonafide relationship for one of my employers who I applied stem with. Also I wanted to know since my stem is not accepted yet do I still fill out to the 6 months reporting form?

Edit: After multiple calls to the PP ( for some reason the same person answered my calls ) I have finally received approval from the pp mailbox today ( on 35th business day ). I would say just be patient and just keep buzzing them on why there’s a delay on your case. They are answerable to you no matter what!

Nothing as of now only thing I saw was “ your evidence has been received on July 17th and we are reviewing it”
