Effective today, Monday, February 26, 2024, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has implemented an increase in fees for its premium processing service. This adjustment is in response to inflation changes observed from June 2021 to June 2023, as authorized by the USCIS Stabilization Act.
It is crucial for individuals to be aware of these changes. The cost associated with filing Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, has been adjusted based on the specific form submitted alongside it.
The cost of filing Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, has risen depending on the application type. For specific classifications like H-2B and R-1 nonimmigrant status, the new fee is $1,685. For all other eligible classifications, including E-1, H-1B, and TN visas, the fee is now $2,805.
The cost of filing Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing for Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) is $2,805, for Form I-539 (Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status) is $1,965, and for Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization, certain F-1 students) is $1,685.
The additional revenue generated from these fee increases will be allocated towards enhancing premium processing services, improving existing adjudication processes, addressing processing backlogs, and supporting other essential USCIS services.
