Mine is for an I-765 for an F1 student doing pre-completion OPT - but there is something "fishy" going on here. I applied on July 12 ELECTRONICALLY (and this is key to these problems I think), my receipt for payment was issued and mailed to me (I-767-C, Notice of Action) and payment deducted from my credit card. After checking online status with my receipt number and it coming up
"Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283."
I called the center. THEY couldn't pull the receipt number either. They just said you need to go to a processing service after I got my "Application Support Center Appointment Notice" for my fingerprinting and biometrics. First "red flag" here is that students haven't had to have biometrics done for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). I pressed for more info and they STILL couldn't produce that I was in the system (but clearly I HAVE to be as this is my THIRD CPT/OPT with an EAD card.
So received my ASC Appointment notice (I-797, Notice of Action) on or about July 17 (dated July 14th - which means it MUST have been in the system when I called earlier). My appointment was August 10. It was fast and "easy" (literally about 4 minutes from arrival to exit).
So here it is, five days later and STILL nothing shows up on the online status, and STILL my receipt number doesn't work. What's 'sketch' about this is that it all seems to be part of a new "flow" of electronic applications ALL of which require biometrics (though they DO NOT make this clear when you apply and when I called to confirm with the UCSIS office about timely processing I was NOT told I would need biometrics). So this looks like we're guinea pigs as they figure this flow out. And in the mean time they are NOT including us in the usual data sets (because, if you consider the delays that are being reported that would REALLY screw up the stats they post about timely processing). Certain universities have gone so far as to tell students applying for OPT and CPT to NOT use the electronic application method it's that bad.
