OPT Approval During Government Shutdown

Applied to OPT nearly 40 days ago, no progress in the USCIS status check. It might be soon to ask them about the progress, but I am wondering if this govt. shutdown is indirectly slowing USCIS progress? I am fully aware that USCIS webpage shows they are fully operational and unaffected by the shutdown. However, they clearly mention that application review process includes criminal background check and IRS reporting. Does this mean that its partially funtional? Have you heard of any body whose OPT has been recently approved (this October)?  Expecting to have your viewpoint and experience shared. This could help me plan my future strategies.   Last edited: 14-Oct-13 11:50 AM

@balatkari_gunday :  You can't use blue ink or what. I used blue ink on my i-765 form. I asked with my DSO and they said that, dark blue ink will just be fine. What's your experience on that!!!!

I got my OPT approved after 70 days now. However, it is still not mailed to me.
