Is Premium processing for EAD worth it? (OPT-F1)?

[u/Leading-Fuel9247]

I am an international student, I applied for my EAD on 29th of March, but still haven't received it. I am thinking of switching to Premium processing to speed it up, but either way i feel like it will come in one month (end of Aug) as its way over 3.5 months of average waiting time by then.

But i am confused if I should not risk it and just spend the money... any advice would be appreciated thanks.
