REPORT OF ISD TELECONFERENCE
AUGUST 9, 2001
By Sharryn Ross, Chair, ISD Liaison Committee
Premium Processing
1. INS is still working on setting up a procedure with the Department of State for
consular notification in Premium Processing cases.
2. If members want the Premium Processing approval notice to be sent back by express means
(e.g., Federal Express, UPS), a preaddressed mailer should be enclosed with the I-907.
Moreover, it would be good to flag this request, e.g., by indicating it in brightly
colored marker on the form.
3. INS verified that there is no bar to employees providing the Premium Processing fee
checks. We informed INS that some cases have been returned when the employee signed the
Premium Processing fee check, and they said this was an error. However, only the employer
or the attorney can sign the I-907.
4. In response to our inquiry as to the procedure at each Service Center for confirming
receipt of the petition for Premium Processing, INS stated that currently only the Vermont
Service Center is sending receipts by email. This has been a pilot procedure and the other
Service Centers hope to follow suit eventually.
5. Shortage of Tetanus Vaccine. INS is aware of the shortage of tetanus available now and
has established an automatic waiver of the requirement in adjustment of status cases for
any vaccine that contains tetanus through September 30, 2001.
6. Approval of Adjustment of Status. In response to our inquiry as to when an adjustment
of status application is considered completed, INS stated it is when the case is approved
by the Service Center.
