USCIS Limitations on I-140 Premium Processing
Posted by Jeff Z. Xie on September 07, 2006 at 18:44:41
USCIS has posted new, previously unannounced, limitations on the circumstances under which premium processing can be used for employment-based immigrant petitions. Premium Processing Service is available for the certain Form I-140 classifications provided that the case does not involve: a second filing of a Form I-140 petition while an initial Form I-140 remains pending; Labor Certification substitution requests; and duplicate Labor Certification requests (i.e., cases filed without an original labor certification from the DOL). USCIS explained that it is prescribing these additional conditions of availability because of their special processing requirements, including locating and transferring other files or documents internally and requesting initial evidence from an outside agency, that make it difficult for USCIS to guarantee that it will process the case within a 15 calendar day period.
