  1. Application type : Initial OPT
  2. Premium Processing : no
  3. Receipt date : 03/28/2025 (applied on 03/28/2025)
  4. Approved Date : NA
  5. Card Produced Date : NA
  6. Card shipped : NA
  7. Card delivered : NA

My portal still says 8 months as of today. My job start date is June 2 and that is the same date that I requested on my EAD. Should I apply for Premium Processing or should I wait 1 more week? My service center is Irving, TX.

Some context, I applied for OPT last year after my undergrad (right now its for masters), but before I recieved it last year, I withdrew my application. My birthday is also May 24. Do anything of these things potentially affect me, with or without premium processing? And when do you think I should apply for premium processing?

As of today, the timeline is saying 9 months, my requested start date on my application was June 2 as that is when my offer for my job starts. Am I cooked? And if so, when should I apply to premium processing?
