Hi,

Got RFE on 22 Oct replied it on 29 November and upgraded it to premium processing,Status changed on Dec 12th saying Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received,we have been waiting from a long time,Generally the premium processing happens in 15 days but its more than a month.Please help,not understanding what to do.Employee says he has applied premium when asked.

These days even the Premium Processing are taking more than a month for approval. This has become quiet common.

Premium Processing Service provides expedited processing for certain employment-based petitions and applications. Specifically, USCIS guarantees15 calendar day processing to those petitioners or applicants who choose to use this service or USCIS will refund the Premium Processing Service fee. If the fee is refunded, the relating case will continue to receive expedited processing.

 

Copied from USCIS website. I don't agree with "Bharat7283"

ya. Its right but the 15 calendar days is counted from the receipt date. But i heard normally the receipt number is issued within 2 to 3 days after your application was received.

Thanks for your response.There is no change in status yet and its been 2 months since we applied for premium ,when we asked about the acknowledgment or receipt of premium processing the employer is not even responding properly.

if the filing is done in premium processing or upgraded to premium processing, the case status clearly mentions that they have received your case under premium processing. if it is not mentioned then your case is not filed with premium processing or upgraded to premium processing. Also, search onthe internet for the USCIS phone number to check your premium case status. if your case number is not recognized when you call that number, that also indicates that your case is in normal processing. 

Google search "uscis premium processing phone number".
