Premium processing “buys” review in 15 calendar days. That review could result in an approval, or a request for evidence. If a request for evidence (RFE) is received, the decision is to be processed in 15 calendar days after we respond to the RFE.
While unusual, it is possible to receive more than one RFE on a petition. In that event, the government would have 15 calendar days after the response to issue a second RFE under premium processing.
The other benefit of premium processing is that we can directly contact the government regarding questions or processing problems via phone or email before or after a decision is reached.
