Premium Processing case is eligible for pre-certification

Has anyone seen “Premium Processing case is eligible for pre-certification” as status for H1 extension case? My case is with Nebaraska center and it has been 3 plus months that i have been seeing this status. My understanding was that it is just mentioning that my case can be moved into premium as it fulfills the criteria. Any guesses or if someone has seen this before; Please share your experience.
