Effective December 2, 2019, the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) will increase the Form I-907 Premium Processing fee from
$1,410 to $1,440. This increase will be in effect for Form I-907
applications filed in connection with Form I-129, Petition for
Non-Immigrant Worker and Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien
Worker petitions. The final rule was published in the Federal
Register on October 31, 2019.
Premium Processing is an optional service which allows
petitioners to pay an additional fee to request expedited
processing for certain employment-based applications. Under premium
processing, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service
(USCIS) has fifteen (15) calendar days to adjudicate the petition.
The fee for this service was last adjusted in October 2018, when it
was increased from $1,225 to $1,410. According to DHS, the new
premium processing fee reflects an increase in the consumer price
index since the fee was initially put in place in 2010.
