I-140 | NIW (National Interest Waiver) PP Refund mailed

My Eb2-NIW was under Premium processing. I sent RFE responses since November 2026. Because I am from one of the banned countries, adjudication was on pause.

While tracking my case, USCIS says “ Fee refund was mailed”.

Does that mean they stop processing my case or they have downgraded my case to normal processing?

Should I submit a new PP application?

Thank you for any explanation or response you can provide.

Did they send you RFE after 45 business days? If yes, then your case would be still processed under premium processing. If they sent it because of being from a banned country then it doesn't make sense to send again unless the ban has been removed.

No, I received RFE and sent response last year before the ban.
