To all who got an RFE in Premium Processing (merged)

[Happy20 0]

Hello,

 

I received an RFE for my O1-B visa application, and my response has been sent out last week. In the online status check, there is no date specified as to when to expect a decision from USCIS.

The problem with my case is that nobody knows if it is being treated in premium processing or not, because I started in regular but upgraded, however, my files got lost in the process, and after upgrading it took another 2 or 3 months to get the RFE. My agency keeps inquiring about it, but apparently USCIS takes forever to respond.

 

Now I tried to find out if there's a difference for the online status "Response to RFE was received" for regular or premium processing, but it seems like in both cases it says "You should receive a decision or case update by *date*(..)", but it doesn't say so in my status check. It just says "(...)we will begin working on your case again. We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you". That's it. Now my question is: for premium processing, do they just assume the 15 day timeline, and therefore are not specifying a date for when to expect a decision?

 

Has anybody had that happen before?

If you've filed a case in PP, did it not specify a date either?

And also, am I eligible for a refund of the PP money? If so, how do I do that?

 

Thanks in advance for your response and have a nice day!

Hello,

 

I have a question for all of you who got an RFE in Premium Processing: did the online status check specify a date as to when to expect a decision in the status "Response to RFE was received"?

 

My online status for my O1-B visa petition has changed to "Response to RFE was received". But it doesn't say when I can expect to hear back from USCIS. 

The problem with my case is that nobody knows if it is being treated in premium processing or not, because I started in regular but upgraded, however, my files got lost in the process, and after upgrading it took another 2 or 3 months to get the RFE. My agency keeps inquiring about it, but apparently USCIS takes forever to respond.

 

I would really appreciate if you just comment below if your status specified a date, or if the 15-day-clock is just assumed, so they don't specify it.

 

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Hi, I got an RFE for Regular Processing after 2 months and just sent it back in. How long was your RFE? And in the RFE notice did they say, if you do not hear back within 60 days contact them? Thats what it said in mine so I am assuming for regular it takes anywhere from a few weeks to 2 months. If you are premium processing they should reply within the 15 days.
