My application for STEP OPT renewal was delivered by USPS on 18th of November. I haven't got text or mail-in notice from uscis yet. They haven't even cashed my money order yet. Any advise?

 

It is 4-6 weeks even longer at this time before you can make inquiry.

@aashish 

 

We are in the same boat- I-131 delivered by USPS to Texas service center on November 5 and 25 days later so no charge on our credit card.

 

As I shared on a different thread, before June 2020, it used to be 2 - 5 business days but due to budget cuts on contractor vendors this has severely impacted the lockbox receiving & pre-processing timelines greatly affecting all paper applications, new or renewal across all types of filings.

 

Which service center did you use?
