Case Processing
Time Procesing - Premium Processing
Hello everyone,
USCIS received my response to the RFE on January 26, 2026. On January 28, 2026, the case status updated to “Case Is Still Being Processed.”
For those who have been in a similar situation (especially EB-2 NIW), how long did it take for you to receive a final decision after USCIS acknowledged receiving your RFE response?
If you were under premium processing, was your decision issued within the 45 business days, or did it take longer?
Is it common to receive a decision earlier than the 45-business-day timeframe?
I would really appreciate hearing about your timelines and experiences. Thank you!
