Fragomen filed my RFE response on Jan 27th and the online case status has been updated for the same. Today is the 12th day and I still don't have an update. I was wondering if anyone applied around the same timeline and got a response. My RFE is for H1B transfer and my initial case got filed with Premium processing. Dec 12th - Fragomen Filed transfer in PP Dec 16th - Got the receipt Dec 18th - RFE :( Jan 27th - USCIS case status shows RFE response has been received. Update Feb 7th: My transfer got approved when I checked at 3:30PM in mycase status today. I've not yet received an email update from Fragomen. Thanks everyone.

For which company you are filing to ?
How much time did they take from you uploading documents to file the case? And they send you the documentation for review?
Updated the post with the timeline. No the documentation was not sent to me. Hiring Mgr and Fragomen prepared the response and I was not involved.
Which processing center?
My RFE response was field on February 3rd, USCIS received it on 5th. RFE was on SO.Mostly you will get to know today by 4pm.
Approved?
Not yet, waiting for the word😊
USCIS is bound by the 15 day response time for Premium processing - only on paper. In reality they sometimes take more than 15 days and there’s nothing we can do other than follow up. It happened to my wife couple of years ago - filed extension in premium, got RFE, attorney responded after 30 days, USCIS approved the petition after 45 days( from the date of RFE response).
This is so unpredictable. Did the attorney raise a ticket or follow up with USCIS after the 15 day time limit?
Yes they did - but no response.
Side question, how long does it take after you finished submitting docs until they started the process for you?
In my case Fragomen took 1 week to initiate LCA after I submitted the docs and after LCA got approved another ~1.5 weeks to prepare the transfer petition and submit.
December 10th - filled with uscis Dec 12. - rfe. Speciality occupation. Feb 13 - RFE response filled. Waiting for the approval 🤞
Are you a swe?
Yes
Do the law firms get RFE notice electronically too? Or just the physical copy?
Premium - electronic and mail. Normal - by mail.
I got an rfe, but response not sent yet. What was your rfe reason?
Specialty occupation rfe and course mapping was sent. Both Undergrad and Masters is in CS.
Did you find the reason for your rfe?
