USCIS Expands Eligibility for Premium Processing Upgrades of EB-1C Multinational Executive/Manager and EB-2 National Interest Waiver Petitions

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on July 15, 2022, that it is expanding the availability of premium processing expansion for certain petitioners who have a pending Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, under the EB-1 and EB-2 classifications. This is a part of USCIS’ multi-phase approach to increase efficiency by expanding premium processing. Beginning Aug. 1, 2022, USCIS will accept Form I-907 requests for:

  • E13 multinational executive and manager petitions received on or before July 1, 2021; and

  • E21 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petitions received on or before August 1, 2021.

USCIS has 45 days to adjudicate petitions that request premium processing for these newly included Form I-140 classifications. However, new I-140 petitions cannot request premium processed at this time.

Please contact your attorney at Iandoli, Desai & Cronin PC if you have questions about a pending application that is now eligible for premium processing. New inquiries about the expansion of premium processing can be sent to info@iandoli.com.
