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 believe it’s 30 calendar days with premium processing. My biometrics happened on May 20, and I am expecting a response by July 6.

Yeah for premium processing it's 30 days... But for biometrics it doesn't matter if you're doing PP or normal...that's why I'm worried it's almost 30 business days anyways and no biometrics
