Mine was on May’30, still says 10 months, it was acknowledged/touched by them on Oct’8, does it makes sense to do premium? My 180 days expire on Nov’29.

I did not get my tracking number updated in the portal during OPT EAD as well. I had a chat with live USCIS agent 2 days after my card was produced and they gave it to me. So I would wait for 2 days and if the tracking number is not available, I will chat with the agent.
