USCIS Extends Temporary Suspension of Premium Processing Service for Form I-140 Petition for Immigrant Alien Worker

On 24 July 2007, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it is extending the temporary suspension of Premium Processing Service for Form I-140, Petition for Immigrant Alien Worker, which previously became effective on July 2, 2007.
This is because USCIS anticipates that the volume of Form I-140 petitions filed requesting Premium Process Service will continue to exceed USCIS’s capacity to provide the Premium Process Service according to the Premium Process Service program guidelines. (Note: Premium Processing Service guarantees that USCIS complete initial processing on a case within 15 calendar days of receipt.) The suspension will continue until further notice.

USCIS has stated that in the event it finds that it will be able to process these cases within 15 calendar days of receipt, it shall once again make Premium Processing Service available for Form I-140 petitions. Individuals seeking more information about the final fee schedule should contact our office.
