Case Processing
Normal processing to premium processing
Hello friends
,
It’s been about five months since I filed my EB2 NIW petition, which was assigned to the Nebraska Service Center. I’ve noticed that the normal processing times keep increasing. Has anyone here switched from normal processing to premium processing? How was the experience, and what results did you get?
I’ve read mixed opinions—some say upgrading to premium processing can trigger an RFE because USCIS wants more time, while others recommend it due to the growing wait times.
I’d really appreciate any advice or insights. Thanks so much! 🙏🏻
Interview waiting
Hello Guys,
Our Case is Documentarily Qualified on May 28,2025 and we are waiting for an Interview Letter for Us Embassy at Casablanca, Morocco. In the embassy website they are working on cases Feb 25, 2025.
Do you know how long does it Take for F2A Category (CR1)?
Anyone in the same situation like us?

letter to upgrade case to cr1 and correct errors
I sent a letter to California center that was initially handling my i130 case under LPR ( from december 2022) to upgrade case to cr1 along with proof of naturalization and a letter of correction to errors in the form made by my former attorney. I received a response letter with instructions to submit the correction via uscis contact center, and 2 days after I received rfe from Texas center for proof of naturalization. I consulted with an attorney and she advised to respond to rfe only because the letter of correction has been seen for sure by an officer in Texas handling the case now. i responded to rfe but I’m worried that the correction is not acknowledged . what do you think? do you have any similar case?
Issue with Payment for H1-B CAP Petition
My employer filed Form-129 on June 16 2025 on premium processing and they used check for payment. On June 28 I got message on uscis case status the petition is on hold and it will be rejected if they do not receive payment authorization. My employer checked the bank account the checks are not cashed.
I spoke with my company legal Team they plan to do this
1. Check with Bank and see if they can make them release funds before June 30.
2. Call USCIS and find what is exactly missing and check if they can submit other form of payment assuming step 1 fails.
3. If they are not able to make current petition move forward by Monday then they plan to file fresh petition in online with clear explanation letter why it’s being filed again so they will be still submitted within CAP deadline of June 30.
I am very sacred and devastated please let me know your thoughts and any other solutions that can be implemented.

"Correspondence was received ", No Renewal for Prima Facie
My case was original filed under i130 for i485, then later changed to i360. I filed in September of 2022 and have been receiving Prima Facie notices consistently before expiration, except for this month. I have not received any new Prima facies but my case was updated to "Correspondence was received" when neither me nor my lawyer sent anything to them. Anybody with a similar experience?
Also my i130 still shows as pending eventhough I filed i1360. Is this something that could cause me to likely have an interview for the i485 after vawa approval?
Also they sent me another i797c notice with the same receipt date September 2022 but a notice date in June 2025
