Premium processing I-140
Quick question after filing for premium processing on an existing case, should USCIS update the online case status once they receive the request? I received a email confirmation on 04/02/26.

I don't think so. Case status will remain same, except that now it will be adjucated within 45 business days

Typiaclly USCIS will update the case status but there have been instances where this did not happen. If you have already reeived the notification acknowledging the PP upgrade then this is a good sign.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
