EB1C I140 filed PP on Nov 5th
Did anyone file I140 in EB1c Premium recently ? Mine was filed on Nov5th 2025 and got receipt on Nov7th. My premium processing window completes this Friday. Is it normal for it to be in processing till the last week of PP window ?#eb1c #pp #140

took 40 business days for me
vinodh MadhanagopalJan 12, 2026
it got approved exactly on 45th business working day for me
Andy GeeJan 12, 2026
Everything up to the 45th business day is normal.
Ani WayneJan 12, 2026
Your 45th day should be this Wed excluding holidays, so hope you get update soon
s vJan 13, 2026
it’s normal , wish yours will get approved; till last day is good mostly it will get approved
D SJan 13, 2026
Normal, I-140 PP approved after 53 business days for me
Ani WayneJan 13, 2026
D S, as they took 53 business days to approve, did the refund the PP fee? They usually try to approve by 45th business day I heard to avoid the refund.
Ani WayneJan 14, 2026
j j, in your case maybe Nov 7, is Business Day 1 and if USCIS is considering 24th and 26th Dec as holidays for PP too, then tomorrow is Day 45 for you. Let me know if you here something by today else tomorrow. Thx
Dark KnightJan 14, 2026
I received rfe yesterday 🥲. Have to wait for the notice from attorney
Ani WayneJan 15, 2026
ohh RFE close to 45 business day mark, hope they are not buying time to review as they are not able to meet deadline and avoid refunding PP fee.
Ani WayneJan 15, 2026
jj, most probably you will be getting some update tomorrow.
Ani WayneJan 15, 2026
jj, got any update?
Ani WayneJan 16, 2026
Congratulations jj 👍🏻

The same happened to me. I got a RFE on the 45th business day and after RFE response almost 90 business days already passed 😐
Ani WayneJan 16, 2026
After RFE response.. they get fresh 45 business days more else they need to refund the premium processing fee.
arun dJan 16, 2026
my receipt date was Nov 11. today is 45th business day. no results yet.
Ani WayneJan 16, 2026
Arun... excluding holidays today maybe be your 43rd day... 45th should be Wed 21st I guess. Though let us know if you hear something tonight.
arun dJan 17, 2026
just got approved today
Ani WayneJan 17, 2026
Cool.. Congratulations
Ani WayneJan 17, 2026
D K, Please do tell what the RFE came for when you hear from Attorney. Thanks.
Naidu nelloreJan 18, 2026
anyone filed i140 in December 2025? PD Dec 17 2025. any chance I get in January?
Naidu nelloreJan 18, 2026
any WhatsApp group or telegram group for Eb1c?
Ani WayneJan 18, 2026
Naidu.. currently it looks like they taking close to 44-45 business days to approve or send RFE as seems they are overwhelmed with applications. So I highly doubt you will hear back anything by Jan end with Dec 17 receipt date.
bounce backJan 19, 2026
that’s correct. I received RFE on 43 business days.
Naidu nelloreJan 20, 2026

Naidu nelloreJan 20, 2026

Dark KnightJan 20, 2026

Ani WayneJan 20, 2026

Ani WayneJan 20, 2026
