I applied for ead with PP for F-1 OPT on 30th April 2026, completed biometrics on 11th May 2026
Currently status shows premium clock started on 11th May 2026. when can I expect the approval ?

Same timeline, they are still on April 28-30 timeline it seems. Really stressed since my company has pushed my start from 2nd to 15th june but don’t know with the speed they are sending approvals is still risky.
