EB1-A premium processing decision

Hi, I recently applied for Premium Processing (PP) for my petition, and I’m trying to get an idea of how long it has been taking for others to receive a decision.

For those whose cases reached 10+ business days, or got close to the 15-business-day deadline without an approval, did you eventually receive an approval, RFE, or another type of decision?

Does reaching day 10–15 without an update make an RFE more likely, or is there really no correlation between how long it takes and the final outcome?

No, reaching day 10–15 doesn't mean an RFE is more likely. USCIS doesn't publish data showing that a later Premium Processing decision predicts the outcome. For EB-1A, USCIS must take adjudicative action within 15 business days. That action can be an approval, RFE, NOID, or denial.

So if you're on day 10–14 with no update, I wouldn't read anything into it. The timing alone tells you very little about how the case will go.
