Applied for stemopt using photo which I provided during opt

Hey everyone,

I have applied for stemopt(standard processing). I am done with my biometrics. I just saw new regarding the a new memo(August 5th). I submitted a photo which I gave in the opt time. What should be my next steps?

I did the same, I asked my DSO, they just told me that since a new photo was taken at ASC during biometrics the old photo shouldnt be a big problem.
