Any Idea

Hi Friends,
How many days premimum processing will take? How much it will cost me more?

thanks
sai1234
 
Thanks mmrsagili. I think better to go for Premimum processing. For stamping also they are taking nearly 4 months. It looks entire processing taking one year.

Powerman, as I stated in my previous post, RFE on my case was asking for my previous H1 and my current employer's tax returns. One more thing they requested was to adjust H1 end date as the end date on my new LCA was exceeding my 6 year H1 limit.
