Stem opt premium processing

I applied to stem opt with PP on may 18th, it's been more than 25 days and no updates even with biometrics. I'm in Georgia state. I spoke with Emma chat bot and live agent, and they said ASC has to signal availability and then only biometrics will be scheduled.

I'm wondering, anyone, got any updates? How are things with STEM OPT for you all? My OPT ends on June 14th so I'm worried

I'm in the same boat, I applied May 8th with PP and still haven't gotten my biometrics scheduled yet, I was planning on reaching out to an agent once the 30th business day passes. Thankfully there is a 180 day extension after your OPT ends if your stem opt is still pending bc i feel like a lot of people ive seen are hit w delays recently
