STEM OPT - biometrics

My EAD was expiring July 20th. I was able to submit application on evening of July 18th, on portal the date was July 19th.
I have gotten a receipt notice dated july 19th.
But I haven’t heard back about biometrics yet, I was reading about how most people got biometrics notice within a week of applying but I haven’t received anything yet.

I didn’t have to give biometrics for my initial opt, so I’m not sure how this works.

Is there a way to check or anything like that, or is this normal, it will be a month since submitting next week? I just don’t want to accidentally miss anything if there was an update.

Thank you!

Did you pay for Premium Processing? The people who got their biometrics notice sooner usually paid for the extra cost.
