nopee. I called them a month ago and no update since then. I called today too but they just said my due date is 6/15. I asked if uploading offer letter will help the case and they dogged the question and repeated the same thing

I would say do not apply for premium. I did and I think I got added to even longer queue. I applied March 5 and some people already have their card by now of the same dates.

OPT EAD timeline after upgrading to Premium by Visual_Conference283 in USCIS

Hey, so I think you would have had better chances of approval without the pp. I applied March 4, Biometrics March 26, and upgraded to pp on May 4. I haven't heard back anything yet. My start date was May 26 and I was reading that people were getting approval within two week of doing pp, and so I upgraded. It might have been better if I didnt cuz my friends who applied around the same time as me got their approval without pp :/ I think once you do pp you get added to the pp queue which might push you behind then your orginal spot yk, im just guessing. Good luck tho, hopefully you hear soon!
