I-140 Premium Processing Program Expanded For Employment Green Card Applicants

The USCIS issued a February 24, 2009 memorandum expanding the I-140 premium processing program for employment-based permanent residency applications. This expansion benefits those H-1B visa holders who are reaching the 6-year limit on their H-1B visa stay and permits them to extend their H-1B visas beyond the 6-year maximum.

Under this expanded I-140 premium processing program, applicants may submit I-907 premium processing requests along with their employment-based permanent residency petition starting March 2, 2009. Under this program, approvals, denials or requests for additional evidence are issued by the USCIS within 15 days of receiving the application. pdf [Read the I-140 Premium processing update and fact sheet...]
