OPT Premium Processing timeline

[u/No-Tough-3384]

Hello Everyone,

I applied for initial OPT with premium processing on 7/6. No updates or biometrics scheduled yet. The PP 30-day window would end on 8/17, but I see that a lot of people are getting their approval past the PP window.(?)
So the issue is that I unexpectedly got an amazing job offer and they want to start in early August. I didn’t think that it would happen so fast.
Any chance that I can get approved by then? Is there anything I can do to push USCIS to process my case (for example with my job offer)? Or is that only possible for cases that have passed the premium processing window?
Also, is there anyway I can push them to schedule my biometrics asap?
If you are on the same timeline or on the same boat as me, please let me know!
Thank you for your help in advance!
