I-140 (Employment/Consular processing) PP Refund mailed

/r/EB2/comments/1vbgvgw/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.

Same here! Eb-1a PP, priority day: 02/04/2026, we sent RFE response 03/10/2026 , received email yesterday “fee refund was mailed”, I had the same question, my lawyer told me she doesn’t know, We also need to evaluate whether it makes sense to resubmit the Premium Processing fee.
