October 2022: The student applied for OPT
November 2022: The student’s OPT was approved and USCIS case status was updated to “Card was delivered to me by the Post Office”
December 2022: The student noticed that the USCIS case status was updated to “Card was delivered to me by the Post Office” in November but the student did not receive the EAD. USCIS told the student that the student needs to reapply for the EAD card as it has been more than a month. The student requested Form I-20 with the remark that says the student is re-applying for EAD as it was never delivered to the student and filed the online application and paid the application fee again.
February 2023: The student finally received the EAD card
