Hi everyone,

I recently applied for my OPT as I am graduating in January. My OPT application was received by USCIS on 14th Nov and on 18th Nov, I got an email confirmation which said that my case has been accepted and routed the USCIS Vermont centre for processing.

I also have my receipt number in the email confirmation and was told to expect the official receipt notice within 7-10 days. While I can check my status on the uscis website using the receipt number I got in the email, I did not receive the notice by post. When I called up USCIS, the representative said that the notice was sent via post and I just never received it and that they do not send duplicates.

While he said that I'm fine as long as I have my receipt number, I am still a little worried. Is this going to be a problem?

I also gave january 13th as my OPT start dat, will I get my EAD card by then? My status is in the "Initial Review" stage.

Thanks in advance for your help!
