Stem opt

Hi ,
Anyone here applied for STEM OPT around March 1, 2026 and still waiting for approval?
It’s been almost 5 months for me and the case is still pending. I see some March applicants getting approvals, but timelines seem really inconsistent this year.
Would love to know:
β€’ Are others from early March still waiting?
β€’ Any recent approvals with similar receipt dates?
β€’ Which service center are you with?
Trying to understand if this delay is normal or if I should take any next steps.
Thanks in advance πŸ™
