I-140 Premium Processing to Resume in Limited Circumstances

BREAKING NEWS

The USCIS has confirmed that on July June 16, 2008, it will resume premium processing for I-140s in certain limited circumstances. It is expected that these limited circumstances will cover cases where beneficiaries whose H status will expire within 60 days of filing the request and who need I-140 approval to become eligible for the additional H time. This change is intended to address circumstances where an individual needs the approved I-140 to receive additional H time under AC21.

The USCIS has not yet issued an official notice and we will continue to monitor the situation and update as we learn more.

Update: the starting date is June 16, 2008, not July 16, 2008, as we reporter earlier.
