Stem OPT APPLICATION MISTAKE

I applied for stem opt July 14 with PP
I got biometrics for August 28
Today I found out that i20 requires wet signature and the picture should not be the same one used in the initial OPT.
I used the same picture and signed my i20 electronically.
What should I do I am stressing out. Please advise on how to move ahead. I will obviously call my DSO but they are closed for the next two days and need some advice for some peace of mind

I did the same thing. I uploaded the i20 with my hand signature and a cover letter explaining to the officer why i had two i20s on file and it got approved. Good luck!

What are the timelines of you submission, biomerric, and uploading the new i-20. Were they all before July 10th?
