Takes 9-11 months. Pay for it!

I would highly recommend you pay for it

Is your priority date current? That would make sense, either way I still recommend

Which firm is that?

Deloitte

application already submitted in regular processing now. ☹️
Texas center wait times are 3.5-6months. Guess I'll just have to wait

The lawyers already submitted the petition under regular processing. USCIS webpage says 3.5-6 months is current wait time

Can I still pay for premium processing?

I think you can upgrade, that shouldn’t be an issue

You’ll just need your immigration team to submit an additional form with the check

Thanks. I just sent my lawyers an email. Let's see. I think it's worth the money.

Go PP

I didn’t do premium and my priority date was current.... FML
