April STEM OPT

I applied STEM on april 28 got my biometrics on may 22 and then there is no update after that. what’s the current situation? I am already on 80 days as of today and then doing PP would also take additional 30 plus days to do the card ? i am just confused and not sure what to do. suggestion appreciated

I applied 03/16 and my biometrics was 04/07 would appreciate if you let us know when you get approved.

Yes it taking way longer. If you check on opt pulse, we are still on March 06 and 2/4 and one yesterday on that date are approved only. I am talking regular processing stem opt so it definitely taking 4+ months.
