Hi

Generally decision process ( Approval/Denial/RFE) takes place in 2 to 6 months depends on the processing centers. Normally you can expect in 3 + months if your lucky :). USCIS site says 60Days ( May be the working days )

My case is pending since last 9 months. It was filed on nov-11. Status is initial review. I am not sure if online status is correct.

Mine is same case as urs. My case got filed on 25th with WAC and still in initial review status. I talked with my employer to request to change to premium but they telling me it takes 3000$ more to convert to premium. I am worried now. Why it is taking this long time…

Thats true. Most employers are not ready to convert into a preminum because of the cost involved.
