Looking for your kind assistance
I applied for EB2 NIW on October 23, 2024. My application has not progressed yet. waiting for 211 days. How many days do I have to wait for a status update?
Should I go through the premium process or wait a few more days? How much will PP cost? How many days will I have to wait to get the results if I take PP? If my case is approved, how many months will I have to wait to enter the United States?
Waiting for expert opinion.

No one really knows the answer to this question. Especially if it wasn’t premium processing, the wait time can be crazy. I have a friend who submitted his I-140 in January 08, 2024 for regular processing and still hasn’t gotten any update yet and he is now preparing to request PP to cut the wait time short and also to help his own peace of mind.

If you look through the history of USCIS in mean processing time for I-140, you'll see it changed many times. First it was slow then it accelerated to even 4 months (yes even Nebraska center) and again it's slow. So, we don't know in which part of the history we are right now. Maybe a miracle happens and the process speeds up or maybe it even gets worse than this.

@Mohammad Ismail
Someone on Reddit mentioned that the final quarter of 2023 will likely be processed by October 2025. This means that the cases from October, November, and December 2023 will be completed by that date in 2025. While no one really knows the exact timeline for processing cases, and it can be frustrating, I would definitely recommend opting for Priority Processing if that's an option for you.
Good luck!

I have seen very few cases mentioned on Reddit from May and June 2024 getting approved without PP. Mine still shows as "actively reviewing".
