We submitted a premium processing request with my H1B petition. The USCIS then issued an RFE on my case. When my employer responds to the RFE, will it still be reviewed using premium processing?

Answer

Yes. Ordinarily, the case will remain in the premium processing track until it is approved or denied. The USCIS normally will issue a final decision – or, less likely, issue a second RFE or a notice of intent to deny (NOID) – within 15 business days of responding to the RFE. (07.Oct.2025)
