    Why is this even a question? Premium by definition is within 15 days.

      As per the rules, USCIS will have to refund the premium fees if they can't get it done in 15 days. And USCIS is already underfunded, so if they accept PP, they will give a decision (approve/reject/RFE) within 15 days and not want to give money back.

      Maybe those people are counting the time it takes for LCA and Petition drafting in the total time. After first contact with lawyers, it can take around a month to get transferred but USCIS stage will be 15 days or less.

    I have received an offer from one of the big 4 and they said it’s taking on an average 3 months even if you apply under premium processing. It doesn’t really matter if you go the normal route or the premium route. I am not sure how true is this!
