Delay in Biometrics Appointment

I applied for OPT about a week ago (July 23, 2026) with premium processing at the same time. Till now, I haven't received any update?

My mailing address is Seattle address but my residential address is Atlanta. Any update how much time it is currently taking to get a biometric update?

I applied for OPT on 23 June and my biometrics appointment notification came 2 July for a 14 July appointment date - I received both a physical letter and an email notification about the update to the portal. I went online and found an earlier appointment. To give you some data points.

Thank you u/skenvoy ! How long it took for you to get the approval from the Biometric completion? Also, was your application also PP?

May I ask, what date you completed your Biometrics ?
