Got an answer on 31st Jan in which you suggested to have info pass and go to USCIS.It would be kind of you,if you can check.Short rephrase:OPT EAD app is pending for over 90 days,applied on 18 Oct,10 and USCIS said can take 6 more months in Jan,10.
In 08,filed COS(i-539) got denied while i was on B visa to get F1, within allowed stay time,flew to home country got F1 till June2012,came back on F1 in Aug-08,finished MS 2010 and applied for OPT,had divorced by GC in 09,never filed any immigration benefits at all.
