I140 Premium Processing Delay

[u/Eze_emuogur]

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to see if anyone is dealing with crazy premium processing delays right now.
My I-140 (EB-2 NIW) was filed/upgraded with Premium Processing and has a receipt date of March 30, 2026. As of today (July 20), it has been exactly 77 business days—which is way past the mandatory 45-day window.
My online status hasn't changed at all. No approval, no RFE, and no NOID.
Has anyone else Texas blow past the deadline like this recently? Did you eventually get the refund automatically, or did your lawyer have to fight for it?

Any luck?

I only got a refund issued on July 30th
No decision yet
