cooldude76 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I129 application reached USCIS date : 17 Oct 2012 USCIS case receipt date : 19 Oct 2012 Showing in premium processing : 25 Oct 2012 It was applied in premium processing, but they took the case as Normal processing initially. Then after calling them today it is now shown under Premium processing. By which date can I expect a decision/update ? Link to comment
pulikat Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 @luck2u, Hi thanks for replying. As I mentioned my employer upgraded my H1B extension it to PP on 16 October and the status is still the old one "RFE response under review", Is the delay due to election time or usually this is the case with premium processing. The status has not changed to Acceptance, with the understanding I got from this forum I will have to wait for 15 calender days from the date when status gets chenged to Acceptance. Looks like nowadays there is hardly any difference between a premium and normal processing. Regards PTM @pulikat: 15 days is from the day it changed to Premium Processing. The status will change to "Acceptance" from "RFE response under review" when you upgrade to Premium Processing from Normal after answering RFE. So, in your case still status is not updated to Acceptance, I believe we can't count 15 days from Oct 16, 2012. But my suggestion is just wait for one more week so you will complete 15 calendar days, then ask your attorney or employer to give call to CSC customer service and check the status. In some cases, if attorney/employer gives call, decision may be made sooner. Link to comment
cooldude76 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 @pulikat, Even in my case the application receipt date is 19-Oct-2012, but the case came in acceptance mode(Premium) only today that's 26-Oct-2012. I feel don't wait for 15 days, please ask your employer to call USCIS and update them for upgrading the case to premium processing. Has the premium processing check sent by your employer encashed by USCIS ? If yes then they should upgrade it to premium processing. If still not done then your employer can talk to them and provide check encashment as a proof and they will take prompt action. Please let us know how it goes.... Link to comment

luck2u Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 @jun04user: Yes, you will get decision in 15 calendar days. As you filed in normal processing initially and then changed to Premium, your status shows currently as Acceptance. From Acceptance status changes to Decision/Post Decision when decision is made.
