USCIS Has Resumed Premium Processing for All Petitioners Seeking H-1B Visas


USCIS Has Resumed Premium Processing for All Petitioners Seeking H-1B Visas

/ 0 Comments /

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) resumed premium processing on October 3rd, 2017, for all H-1B visa extension of stay petitions. Premium processing is now available for all types of H-1B petitions. 

H-1B visas provide skilled workers for a wide range of specialty occupations, including information technology, engineering, and mathematics. When a petitioner requests the agency’s premium processing service, USCIS guarantees a 15-calendar day processing time. If that time is not met, the agency will refund the petitioner’s premium processing service fee and continue with expedited processing of the application.

In addition to today’s resumption of premium processing for H-1B visa extension of stay petitions, USCIS had previously resumed premium processing for H-1B petitions subject to the annual cap, petitions filed on behalf of physicians under the Conrad 30 waiver program, as well as interested government agency waivers and certain H-1B petitions that are not subject to the cap.

If you have any questions about your H-1B case, please do not hesitate to email us at info@songmenglaw.com.
