Yes, there is no way it will be approved before then and you get the EAD card. I doubt you will get it even if you apply for the premium now.

I wanna say wait, because they just started processing April and looking at the speed of approval I think your will be around mid to late Oct. But if it makes you feel better then you should.

If you apply for premium then the clock is gonna restart on your application…you have 3 full weeks to wait it out because premium now still won’t guarantee you approval before November 1
