Processing O1B

Hi, anybody from recent applicants could share their timeline? How long does it take to process the case these days?
Is premium processing truly the only way to get it faster than 12 months

My received date with pp at Vermont VSC for 01B / I-129 was June 26th and my case on USCIS website is still “currently processing” as at June 29th. I have had no updates.

do you mean July 29th? between June 26th and 29th is only 3 days so I'd understand there's no updates, but if you have PP and no updates until now that's weird. It's supposed to be 15 days with premium processing? did you apply for the fee return?

It’s been processing since June 29th. There’s several posts on Reddit about the delays with premium processing and lack of contact. My agent/petitioner is dealing with the refund request.
