USCIS Expands Premium Processing Service to New Case Types
Bridget Ramos • April 6, 2022
USCIS has developed new regulations to expand its premium processing services for certain case types in order to address major backlogs and provide relief to work permit holders. The rule will take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, but the premium processing expansion will take place in phases over a three-year period. The chart below includes the specific case types that premium processing will be made available for by September 30, 2022.
It is important to note that the processing timeframe provided is the amount of time that USCIS has to issue either an approval notice, a request for evidence (RFE), or a notice of intent to deny (NOID). An announcement is expected to be made on the USCIS website when premium processing becomes available for each new case type. USCIS may also place conditions limiting premium processing availability to cases which have been pending for a minimum period of time.
If you would like to discuss your eligibility for any of the above case types, please schedule a consultation with one of our experienced attorneys. We look forward to working with you.
