H1 Regular processing to Premium Processing

[nefan]

Hello guys,

Please advice in an urgent matter. Is it possible to change the H1 processing from regular to Premium once I have the receipt for the application? If so, can you please let me know the application forms or info my employer needs to send to the USCIS?

Thank you,

Yes you can upgrade to Premium Processing

Your employer will need file it for you( File I-907 form)

PP fee can be paid by you ($1300)

USCIS will make a decision in 15 calender days.

Good Luck

Anyone know how long it takes to convert to PP? My lawyer will be filling the form tomorrow (unless I hear back from USCIS by then). Is it instantaneous? Or does it take 1-2 business days to process?

When USCIS receives the PP application the count down begins

USCIS received my petition last Thursday. Do I start my 15 days count from then? My status still shows RFE Response Review.

HI nefan,

Is this for new H1 or extension.

If its extension and if your I94 is expiring soon, better upgrade to premium based on my personal experience.

I dont know if i come under extension or first time. I had a 221G when I came to India for stamping. So i changed employers and now this H1 is applied by the new employer.
