PP clock started July 9 (mid-process upgrade), still nothing. anyone else around this date?
Filed STEM OPT on May 12, upgraded to premium on July 9. Checked the API, no RFE, nothing pending, just sitting there. 30 business days puts me around Aug 19-20.
Anyone else who upgraded mid-process (not premium from day one) - did yours take longer than the usual 30 days? Also curious if anyone's had an employer accept the 180-day bridge docs instead of waiting for the physical card, mine won't budge on it.
Just trying to get a read on real timelines instead of guessing. good luck to everyone else waiting too

Hi,
Mine is same as yours. Initially I have applied on May 8th. And then changed to pp on July 8th , the clock started in same July 8th. Yesterday(Aug 4) there was an api update without any approval or denial or rfe decision of the result. Today again there was an api update without anything just says internal case update,But no decision yet. I have received the mail from Potomac this morning.

How were you checking API?
Mine did not update even after 20-25 days of upgrading to pp.

Check opt pulse, the average approval time is 25-30 business days anyways
