OPT Approval During Government Shutdown

@parbatekanchhi,
You can pretty much get the receipt info pretty much quickly. Because that is entirely an USCIS work load. However, Approval of I-765 goes through rigorous FBI and IRS check (at least that is what USCIS claims). Process after receipt is what counts for us......and I have found that ridicuolousy slow since the shut down.
Let me know if your "initial review" status on uscis.gov goes faster.
Thanks for sharing.
