Beginning July 13, 2015,
USCIS will resume accepting Form I-907, Request for Premium
Processing Service
for all Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, H-1B extension of stay
petitions.
USCIS previously announced on May 19, 2015, that premium processing service
would be suspended for Form I-129 H-1B extension of stay petitions from May 26,
2015 to July 27, 2015. The temporary suspension allowed us to implement the Employment Authorization for Certain
H-4 Dependent Spouses final rule
in a timely manner and begin adjudication of applications for employment
authorization filed by H-4 nonimmigrants under the new regulation. Premium
processing remained available for all other types of Form I-129 H-1B petitions
during the temporary suspension.
