STEM OPT - biometrics
My EAD was expiring July 20th. I was able to submit application on evening of July 18th, on portal the date was July 19th.
I have gotten a receipt notice dated july 19th.
But I haven’t heard back about biometrics yet, I was reading about how most people got biometrics notice within a week of applying but I haven’t received anything yet.
I didn’t have to give biometrics for my initial opt, so I’m not sure how this works.
Is there a way to check or anything like that, or is this normal, it will be a month since submitting next week? I just don’t want to accidentally miss anything if there was an update.
Thank you!
