Hello Everyone,
I received my STEM OPT extension a few months ago with all details accurate. However, I just got contacted by my University that they received a notice from USCIS about "Deficient Photos Notice" where they say my photos did not meet requirements.
When I sent my application,I went to Walgreens(only approved photo place where I stay) where they take tons of official photographs for students and I sent it.I also received my STEM card with no errors. Now the problem is that they are asking me to send new photos along with some documents and my ORIGINAL OPT STEM card.They will destroy the old one and give me a new one with validity dates intact.
1. I am traveling on 24th dec and coming back on Jan 18th 2015.Has anyone faced this problem/any way to speed this up as I am not sure if I will receive it in time?
2. I am close to shifting jobs feb last week/march first week 2015 for which Ill need the card-again worried about time taken for it to arrive.
Please advise as I am really against a deadline.
Thank you
