Starting May 26, 2015, U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) will temporarily suspend premium
processing for all H-1B Extension of Stay petitions until July 27, 2015.
During this time frame, petitioners will not be able to file Form
I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, for a Form I-129,
Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, requesting an extension of the stay
for an H-1B nonimmigrant. USCIS will continue to premium process H-1B
Extension of Stay petitions filed with Form I-907 premium requests prior
to May 26, 2015.
USCIS will refund the premium processing fee if:
- A petitioner filed H-1B petitions prior to May 26, 2015, using the premium processing service, and
- USCIS did not act on the case within the 15-calendar-day period.
Premium
processing remains available for all other Form I-129 H-1B petitions,
including petitions subject to the H-1B cap that are requesting a change
of nonimmigrant status or consular notification.
This temporary suspension will allow USCIS to implement the
Employment Authorization for Certain H-4 Spouses final rule in
a timely manner and adjudicate applications for employment
authorization filed by H-4 nonimmigrants under the new regulations.
