As premium process takes into effect, many people are wondering if they need to use such rush service. Here are my opinions.
First of all, you need to decide what you want, time or money ($1000), you can not have both.
The premium process is just serve to buy you time, not an appoval notice. Otherwise you will suffer from unkonwn long waiting since you do not know eaxctly when your case will be processed. By using premium process, it doesn't mean you will get an approval notice for sure. If you get a RFE notice, it is just normal. At least you buy at least 3 months to 1 year.
Therefore, if time is the essence of your case and if you do not care about that $1000 dollars and would get a rush service, then just go ahead. But remember again that $1000 doesn't gurantee you will get an approval notice. You still need to prepare your EB1-a case carefully, convincinly and neatly, especially when you do DIY.
Just for your reference.
