Understanding Premium Processing and Eligibility

Navigating the U.S. immigration system can be challenging, with long wait times that delay critical milestones like starting a new job, extending legal status, or securing a work visa. Form I-907, the Request for Premium Processing, offers a powerful solution by expediting eligible USCIS petitions and providing a response in as few as 15 calendar days. This service is ideal for employers hiring international talent, such as H-1B, L-1, O-1, or TN visa holders, and individuals facing urgent deadlines. Eligible petitions include Form I-129 (Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker), Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker for EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 categories), and select Form I-539 applications for adjustment or extension of status. Eligibility varies, so always consult USCIS guidelines or an expert.

The premium processing fee, $2,805 as of 2025 (subject to change), is paid separately by check or money order. USCIS guarantees a response – approval, denial, or request for evidence – within 15 days and refunds the fee if it is delayed while continuing expedited processing. Premium processing doesn’t guarantee approval, so accurate documentation is critical to avoid denials. Arvian Law Firm’s experienced attorneys specialize in Form I-907 submissions, ensuring compliance and efficiency. We verify eligibility, prepare error-free petitions, and streamline the process, saving you time and stress.

Why Choose Premium Processing?

The standout benefit of Form I-907 is speed. Standard USCIS processing for petitions like I-129 or I-140 can take 3 to 12 months, depending on the case and service center. Premium processing cuts this to 15 calendar days, enabling businesses to hire critical employees faster and helping individuals avoid status lapses. This is especially valuable in fast-paced industries like technology, healthcare, or entertainment, where delays can mean missed opportunities.

Premium processing also offers predictability. A guaranteed 15-day response allows applicants to plan confidently, whether for travel, work, or addressing follow-up requests like an RFE. Additionally, premium processing cases often receive priority handling, including access to dedicated USCIS email or phone support, facilitating quicker resolution of issues.

While the premium processing fee adds cost, the investment is worthwhile for those who can’t afford delays. For employers, it ensures timely staffing; for individuals, it secures jobs or legal status. Arvian Law Firm can assess whether premium processing is right for you, ensuring a cost-effective path to your immigration goals.

Form I-907 Premium Processing FAQs

Can I use premium processing for any immigration petition?

Not all petitions are eligible for premium processing. USCIS limits Form I-907 to certain forms and categories, and eligibility may change based on USCIS policy. Arvian Law Firm can review your case to determine if your petition qualifies and advise you on the best course of action.

What happens if my premium processing petition is denied?

If USCIS denies your Form I-907 due to ineligibility or errors, the premium processing fee is usually refunded, but the underlying petition continues to be processed under standard procedures. Arvian Law Firm ensures that your petition is eligible and error-free to avoid such setbacks.

Will Premium Processing increase my chances of getting my petition approved?

Premium Processing only expedites the USCIS review; it doesn’t affect the approval decision. The strength of your petition’s evidence and compliance with requirements are key. Arvian Law Firm attorneys meticulously prepare your case to maximize your chances of approval.

Can I upgrade to premium processing after filing my petition?

Yes, if your petition is eligible, you can file Form I-907 to upgrade to premium processing at a later date, provided your petition is still pending. Arvian Law Firm can handle this process, ensuring proper filing and timing to expedite your case.
