I140 - EB1C - Nebraska processing times.

Need a suggestion - I responded to a RFE for my I140 on May 02nd. USCIS will now allow me to submit a premium processing request for my pending I140 starting Jul 01. It will already be 60 days since my RFE response was filed by then. I'm wondering if it's worth spending $2500 to request for premium processing of my RFE response (which would mean my case would be processed in another 15 days from then) or just wait as it would have been 75 days since I submitted my RFE response by then.

I have an EAD/AP combo card so my motivation to get my I140 processed quickly is with a hope that my 485 would be picked up for processing shortly after. I still have not submitted my medicals, as recommended by my attorney to wait until I get a RFE so significant time is expected for processing of my 485 even if it's picked for processing shortly after.

What would be your recommendation?

Still waiting for a response on my I140 RFE. It's now 18 months since I filed.

After 20 months of waiting including a 4 month wait after submitting a RFE response, my I-140 was finally approved today. It is such a relief. My 485 had been transferred from NBC to LIN last year for speeding up processing, hopefully they will transfer it back so I could get my GC at the earliest. Regardless, it is definitely such a relief that my I140 got approved!

Thanks to all the good hearted folks in this community who have been so supportive, encouraging and helpful. Thanks for all your kind words.
