Greenspoon Marder Immigration Alert: USCIS Resumes Premium Processing for H-1B Petitions Filed on or before Dec. 21, 2018

February 15, 2019

By: Greenspoon Marder’s Immigration Team

USCIS has announced that it will resume premium processing on Tuesday, Feb. 19, for all H-1B petitions filed on or before Dec. 21, 2018.  The previously announced temporary suspension of premium processing remains in effect for H-1B petitions to which it applied that were filed on or after Dec. 22, 2018.

When an H-1B petitioner properly requests the agency’s premium processing service, USCIS guarantees a 15-day processing time. If USCIS does not take certain adjudicative action within the 15‑calendar day processing time, USCIS refunds the petitioner’s premium processing service fee and continues with expedited processing of the petition.

Please contact us if your company would like to file a Request for Premium Processing for any eligible petitions that were filed on or before Dec. 21, 2018.
