EB1 I-140 Premium Processing Time

EB1 I-140 petitions with premium processing typically receive a decision within 15 calendar days from the date USCIS accepts the request. This expedited service applies to EB1 categories, such as EB1A (extraordinary ability), EB1B (outstanding professors and researchers), and EB1C (multinational executives and managers). If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE) during this period, the clock pauses and resumes once the response is submitted. Premium processing is an efficient option for those seeking faster adjudication, especially if timing is critical for subsequent steps like adjustment of status or consular processing.
