US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will start accepting Requests for Premium Processing in phases for Form I-129, Petitions for a Nonimmigrant Worker and Form I-140, Immigrant Petitions for Alien Workers.
Form I-140: Beginning June 1, 2020, USCIS will accept requests for premium processing for all eligible employment-based green card (I-140) petitions.
Form I-129: USCIS will accept premium processing requests for the following:
Please note: USCIS may change any of the above dates for resuming premium processing.
Some petitioners received a refund because they requested but did not receive premium processing for Form I-129 or I-140 petitions before the service was suspended on March 20, 2020. If consistent with the timeline above, these petitioners may refile their Form I-907 request for premium processing.
We will continue to monitor premium processing updates.
