Cases may be appealed or petitioned "after the second or any subsequent examination or consideration by the Examiner" (emphasis added).
Accordingly, appeals and petitions will be considered premature if submitted in response to the very first Office Action in a case.
Note that all final office actions by the U.S.P.T.O. are appealable.
