As far as I know LMIA can be extended for one or two times (Check with immigration attornry) they can tell you better.

I will advise do not wait for Biometrics to get open in India, better to look for other options (Dubai is the best if you can)

any update on your medicals?

what is your complete timeline.

LMIA filed: 26th June
LMIA approved: 8th July
Work permit filed along with upfront medical: 18th July

Not sure if medicals are approved, as the account is managed by the lawyer and I don't have access to it. I think it should be approved otherwise they would've let me know.

Should I go to Dubai, as I think they will start biometrics in India soon?

If you have applied for the Work Permit, it doesn't matter if the LMIA is valid or not.
You have to apply for the work permit before it expires (which you have already done)R

Not to discourage you but I ordered GCMS notes on Nov 3rd. On Dec 2nd evening, I got an email saying that they need 90 more days for GCMS notes. I had applied through Get GCMS (https://www.getgcms.com/).

This is what they said:
that in accordance with the Access to Information Act, an extension of 90 days beyond the statutory 30 day limit is necessary to process your request. This extension is due to a large number of records or necessitates a search through a large number of records and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the government institution. See section 9(1)(a) of the Access to Information Act.

Wow now they are not ready to send GCMS on time. Type of work permit application you have filed? Single application or multiple applicant. I have ordered through different source so lets see what i will hear from them.
