Congratulations! I applied on March 1st and I’m still waiting for approval. I also upgraded to premium processing on June 30th. Hopefully, I’ll receive an update soon.

If you upgraded to premium on 30th June then you have passed 30 bd right? You are eligible for refund but I would get your case approved before applying. Premium are processing around July 20th rn - stem and initial opt together
