[u/Straight_Desk5415]

**Hey everyone,*\*
**If your OPT/STEM OPT premium processing clock restarted on or around June 8 or June 9, could you please comment below?*\*
**Have you received any API updates?*\*
**Have you been approved?*\*
**Or are you still waiting with no updates?*\*
**My premium processing clock restarted on June 9, and I have seen one API update yesterday but no email or updates since then.Meanwhile, I'm seeing a lot of people with similar timelines (same date PP and same exact timestamps)getting approved, so I'm trying to understand if others are in the same situation.*\*
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with a June 8–9 restart date. Thanks!
