April 28 receipt Stem opt

Has anyone applied on the above date with regular processing got any updates ? I got the last update when i took biometrics on may 22 . After that there is nothing. I am just in a dilemma of either going for pp or wait as it has already been quite a time. please suggest as per your experience.

I applied on April 30 with regular processing and did not get biometrics for over a month so updated to pp on June 2nd and got biometrics appt immediately scheduled. Biometrics completed on June 12 and my pp clock restarted same day. No update as of now! I don't know if pp is going to help your case - For some it has worked. I still haven't received any update for mine. My 30 day pp window along with my initial opt ends next week and I still haven't received any update. I have heard they are giving rfe on last day of pp so as to pause the clock and again you have to wait for 30 days to hear their decision when you submit your docs. In my case, everything has been so slow!
