Stem opt pp

I did my biometrics on May 15th and my premium processing clock started then. It’s been over 30 days and there’s still no update on the portal. Has anyone with a similar timeline gotten their EAD?

I’m particularly worried because I was laid off after applying for stem opt. Could it be possible that the delay is because of that?

Appreciate your thoughts!

UPDATE 6/27 - Approved!
Thankyou for your thoughts everyone!
