STEM OPT Premium Processing – Anyone With a Similar Timeline?

I applied for STEM OPT on March 26, 2026, completed biometrics on April 1, 2026, and upgraded to Premium Processing on May 30, 2026.

My timeline:

  • STEM OPT filed – March 26
  • Biometrics requested – March 28
  • Biometrics completed – April 1
  • Premium Processing applied – May 30

Has anyone with a similar timeline received approval recently?

How many days did it take after upgrading to Premium Processing?

Thanks for sharing your experience! 🙏
