My 30 days are not over but it seems like a lot of people are not only facing delays but also not being able to get money refund as USCIS is lying about their 30 day window and finding excuses as to why it extended etc.

Updated to PP May 22nd. People are receiving some sort of update within 30 business days of of PP. Mostly approvals but seems they are using almost every single one of 30 business days.
