H1b premium processing

[Krushi]

Hello,

I received a RFE and USCIS received the response on 24th October.

My employer updated my case to premium processing. It's been 15 calendar days and my check has not been cashed yet

Does that mean premium processing was not accepted?

If you didn't get  a response from USCIS within 2 weeks after filled PP, they are not going to charge you. Your case will still be moved to the front of the queue but since they can't give you an answer within 2 weeks as promised in PP, they cannot charge you the PP fee.

Since they will move up my case, how long could it take on an average to send a decision?

I don' t know enough to speak for an "average" but I can share with you my personal experience. I received 2 RFEs after filled H1b petition in 2018. My lawyer answer the first one on 9/11 and received the second one on 11/13. Then she answered the second one on 1/21 and my petition is approved on 2/1 (with PP filled). 

Good luck with your case and have faith!
