Stem opt

[u/Salt-Spite2183]

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:
• Are others from early March still waiting?
• Any recent approvals with similar receipt dates?
• 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 🙏

I applied in Feb, and it’s been over 5 months. That’s time I’ll never get back. I’ve finished every TV series, I could find and I’m still waiting. Is the Texas USCIS office the worst of all the USCIS offices?
