I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service

NOTE: You may file Form I-907 electronically. Go to our internet website at www.uscis.gov and follow the detailed instructions on e-filing.

Instructions

Please read these instructions carefully to properly complete this form. Failure to follow the instructions may result in your application or petition being rejected, delayed or denied. If you need more space to complete an answer, use a separate sheet(s) of paper. Write your name and Alien Registration Number (A #), if you have one, at the top of the each sheet and indicate the number of the item to which the answer refers. NOTE: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is comprised of offices of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

If an intent to deny or request for evidence is issued within 15 calendar days of receipt or if the case is referred for investigation of suspected fraud or misrepresentation, the processing time has been met. Once a response is received to the notice of intent to deny or request for evidence, USCIS will guarantee 15 calendar day processing from the date the response was received.

Use Form I-907 to request Premium Processing Service on certain petitions or applications designated as eligible for this service.

You will need to give us a:

  • Completed and signed petition or application with an original signature or a USCIS receipt as evidence of such filing.
  • Completed and signed Form I-907.
  • Filing fee that is separate from the check or money order used to pay for the relating petition or application. This check or money order must be attached to the Form I-907.

To file this request see Step 2 for specific instructions.

When Should I Use Form I-907?

You should use Form I-907 to request Premium Processing Service for certain petitions or applications designated as eligible for Premium Processing Service. Visit our web site at www.uscis.gov for details about which petitions or applications are eligible for this service.

You may file your request for Premium Processing Service with the eligible petition or application. You may also file the request for Premium Processing Service after you file the eligible petition or application, as long as the eligible petition or application is still pending.

Only the petitioner or applicant who filed the corresponding petition or application (e.g. Form I-129), or the attorney or accredited representative of the petitioner or applicant, may request Premium Processing Service. If the attorney or accredited representative makes the request, a properly completed Notice of Appearance (Form G-28) must accompany the request, even if the attorney or accredited representative has already filed a Form G-28 in the case.

Premium Processing Service guarantees 15 calendar day processing of certain employment-based petitions or applications. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will refund the Premium Processing Service fee but continue to process the case unless within 15 calendar days of receipt of a properly filed Form I-907, USCIS issues an approval notice or, where appropriate, issues a notice of intent to deny, a request for evidence or opens an investigation for suspected fraud or misrepresentation on the related petition or application.

How Do I File Form I-907?

You must fill out a separate Form I-907 for each petition or application submitted. Follow the steps below to complete your request process:

Step 1 – Fill Out the Form I-907
Step 2 – Submit Your Request

Notice

USCIS wants to make sure that you receive the requested immigration benefit. To do this, we may ask for more evidence, interview you, and/or conduct an investigation. If you submit false documents, misrepresent facts or otherwise engage in fraud, USCIS will take appropriate action. This means we will not only deny your request, you may also lose current and future immigration benefits. You may also face penalties including criminal and/or civil prosecution leading to fines and/or imprisonment.

Form I-907 Check List.

  • Did you completely fill out and sign the form?
  • Did you attach a check or money order for $1,000 plus a check for the relating petition or application if applicable? (See Step 2 of these instructions for fee information.)

NOTE: If you wish to have the notice mailed to you rather than wait for the batch-printed notice, submit a pre-paid express mail label and envelope for mailing.

For your records, you should keep copies of your request packet.
