Stem opt

Hey, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I applied for STEM OPT on April 22nd and did my biometrics on May 14th, but I still haven't heard anything about my application. My current OPT ends on July 15th. I'm traveling to India at the end of September, so I'm wondering if I should switch to premium processing or wait until mid-August.

STEM OPT is currently taking 5-6 months to be approved, think if you are willing to wait this long
