The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has declared on December 27, 2023 an adjustment in the filing fee for Form I-907, also known as the Request for Premium Processing. This modification is in response to the inflation from June 2021 to June 2023.

• What is Premium Processing? Premium processing is an expedited service offered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows applicants to fast-track the adjudication of their applications by paying an additional fee, with the commitment of receiving a decision within 15 calendar days for most cases, 30 calendar days for Form I-765 for F-1 students and 45 calendar days for Form I-140 E13 multinational executive and manager and Form I-140 E21 national interest waiver classifications.

• Fee Changes: Effective February 26, 2024, USCIS will increase certain premium processing fees.

Previous Fee: $1,500 (H-2B or R-1 nonimmigrant status)

• Key Details: If you send Form I-907 after February 26, 2024, with the incorrect fee amount, USCIS won't accept it; for courier services like UPS, DHL or FedEx, the postmark date is the one on the courier receipt.
