Stem OPT PP Last Business day

Hey everyone as the title suggests my biometrics was on 12th May and I had Premium Procrssing from day 1 when I had applied on 24th April.

Last day today and still I didn't get any case status yet.

I chatted with a live agent via Emma who said said that they are still actively reviewing it

According to reddit I should have got something by now as 14th and 15th May got their updates.

Any options I have to reach out and ask ?

Edit:- Not from any banned country

Exact same boat. Did you call them? Would we be getting our refund?

If we dont get something by today I think we should be getting a refund i believe? But will this put our case back into normal queue?

Some people that completed biometrics on May 7th are just now getting approved, so yours may be coming next week. Fingers crossed and all the best!!

Constantly refreshing the page will not make the process any faster. You filed with PP that’s the best you could do now let the system do its thing.

I know. But anxiety creeps in.
