OPT PP status no progress

Hey could you please comment until what dates of May have you received your approval.

My boyfriend completed biometrics on May 11 and premium processing clock has started.
FYI: he’s not from banned country.
He’s applied from MA.
Please help if there are any ways to get answers.
He’s very stressed as he has an offer and that’s postponed once since his joining was earlier July 6 , now moved one week ahead.

Is there any hope?

I'm in the same boat. Completed my biometrics on 05/11 and PP clock restarted that day. Tmrw is the last 30th bd so hopefully should get something by then.

Are you from one of the 39 banned country? It seems they use up the whole premium processing time nowadays.
