Mine was approved with the help of a professional who worked with me on profile building and preparing my EB-2 NIW case. If you’d like, I can share his email so you can contact him directly and discuss your case with him.

Sadly the only way you can have a defined timeline on progress of your case, is by going for premium processing. Without it is anybody's guess

@Sandra B I heard from multiple people that going premium route would invite the RFE’s and I am not sure how that works out i understand that would give the processing office more time to review the case.

@unknown soul If you get an RFE or not should not be because of going for Premium Processing. I look at it this way normal processing: 2 years waiting --> rfe --> maybe another 2 years?? (thats is a part I am not clear about Premium --> max 45 business days --> rfe --> max 45 business days rfe does not mean denial, you get one or you don't

@Sandra B thank you for clarifying
