Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully to properly complete this form. If you need more space to complete an answer, use a
separate sheet(s) of paper. Write your name and Alien Registration Number (A #), if any, at the top of each sheet of paper
and indicate the section and number of the item to which the answer refers.

What Is the Purpose of This Form?
Use Form I-907 to request Premium Processing Service on
certain petitions or applications designated as eligible for
this service.

General Instructions.
How Do I File Form I-907?
You must fill out a separate Form I-907 for each petition or
application submitted. Follow the steps below to complete
your request process:

When Should I Use Form I-907?

Step 1 - Fill Out the Form I-907

You should use Form I-907 to request Premium Processing
Service for certain petitions or applications designated as
eligible for Premium Processing Service. Visit our web site at
www.uscis.gov for details about which petitions or
applications are eligible for this service.

Step 2 - Submit Your Request

You may file your request for Premium Processing Service
with the eligible petition or application. You may also file the
request for Premium Processing Service after you file the
eligible petition or application, as long as the eligible petition
or application is still pending.
Only the petitioner or applicant who filed the corresponding
petition or application (e.g. Form I-129), or the attorney or
accredited representative of the petitioner or applicant, may
request Premium Processing Service. If the attorney or
accredited representative makes the request, a properly
completed Notice of Appearance (Form G-28) must
accompany the request, even if the attorney or accredited
representative has already filed a Form G-28 in the case.
Premium Processing Service guarantees 15 calendar day
processing of certain employment-based petitions or
applications. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) will refund the Premium Processing Service fee but
continue to process the case unless within 15 calendar days of
receipt of a properly filed Form I-907, USCIS issues an
approval notice or, where appropriate, issues a notice of intent
to deny, a request for evidence or opens an investigation for
suspected fraud or misrepresentation on the related petition or
application.
If an intent to deny or request for evidence is issued within
15 calendar days of receipt or if the case is referred for
investigation of suspected fraud or misrepresentation, the
processing time has been met. Once a response is received to
the notice of intent to deny or request for evidence, USCIS
will guarantee 15 calendar day processing from the date the
response was received.

NOTE: USCIS wants to make sure that you receive the
requested immigration benefit. To do this, we may ask for
more evidence, interview you, and/or conduct an
investigation.

Step 1. Fill Out the Form I-907.
Use black ink only. Type or print clearly using CAPITAL
letters. If an item does not apply to you, write "N/A." If the
answer is none, write "NONE."
This form is divided into Parts 1 through 4. The following
information should help you fill out the form.

Part 1 - Information about you.
Company or Business Name - Give the full name of the
company or business.

Part 2 - Information about request.
Give the requested information about the related petition
or application for which you are requesting Premium
Processing Service. USCIS must have this information in
order to match the Form I-907 with the underlying form
for which you are requesting Premium Processing Service.
If you are requesting an upgrade of the pending
underlying form to Premium Processing Service, you must
complete all blocks (1 through 5) in Part 2 of the Form
I-907 or your Form I-907 will be rejected and the filing
fee returned. If you are concurrently filing the Form I-907
with the underlying form for which you are requesting
Premium Processing Service, you must complete blocks 1,
3, 4 and 5 in Part 2 or your Form I-907 will be rejected
and the fee returned. (You don't have to complete block 2
because if you are concurrently filing Form I-907 with the
underlying form, you will not know the receipt number of
the underlying form at the time you file).

Form I-907 Instructions (Rev. 07/30/07) Y

Part 3 - Original signature.
The petitioner, applicant, attorney, or accredited
representative must sign and date the request. If the Form
I-907 does not contain an original signature (stamped
signatures or photocopies are not acceptable) the request
for Premium Processing Service (along with the $1,000
Premium Processing Service fee) will be returned to the
requester.
NOTE: Only the petitioner (including the selfpetitioner) or the applicant of the relating petition may
sign the Form I-907 to seek Premium Processing Service
on the related petition or application.

Part 4 - Original signature of attorney or accredited
representative who submitted Form G-28.
1. If a Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as
Attorney or Representative, is attached to this request, the
attorney or accredited representative listed on the Form
G-28 must sign, date and give his or her address and
daytime phone number.
2. If the preparer is a business or organization, its name
must be included on the form.

Step 2. Submit Your Request.
You must include the following items with your request.
1. Your signed and completed Form I-907.
2. Your signed and completed petition or application unless the petition or application was previously filed and
is still pending. If this is the case, you must submit a copy
of the filing receipt or a copy of the transfer notice, if
applicable.

Where To File?
Submit the request. The Form I-907 may be filed at the same
time as the relating petition or application, or it may be filed at
a later date. If you plan to file the Form I-907 electronically,
refer to the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov and click on
"Immigration Forms."
The filing location for the Form I-907 depends on the filing
location of the underlying petition or application for which
you are requesting Premium Processing Service as described
later in this form.
If you have already filed the underlying form (i.e., Form I-129
or Form I-140) and wish to request Premium Processing
Service, submit the Form I-907 to the Service Center where
the underlying form is pending. Include a copy of the filing
receipt or a copy of the transfer notice, if applicable.

The filing address for the Form I-907 depends on whether

Service Processing Information.
Our goal at USCIS is to process all petitions and applications
fairly. The processing time will vary, depending on the
specific circumstances of each case. We may reject an
incomplete request. We may deny your request if you do not
give us the requested information or do not go to a scheduled
interview.
To request USCIS forms, call our toll-free forms line at
1-800-870-3676. You may also get USCIS forms and
information about immigration laws and regulations by calling
our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or

What Is the Filing Fee?
The filing fee for the Form I-907 is $1,000.
The $1,000 Premium Processing fee is in addition to all other
applicable filing fees. The petitioner, attorney or beneficiary
may pay the $1,000 fee but the beneficiary cannot sign the
Form I-907. You must pay for Premium Processing Service
with a separate check or money order. (Example: One
check or money order attached to the relating petition or
application, and one check or money order attached to the
Form I-907).

Use the following guidelines when you prepare your
check or money order:
1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank
or other financial institution located in the United
States and must be payable in U.S. currency. Do
not mail cash.
2. Make the check or money order payable to the
Department of Homeland Security. Please spell
out U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Do not
use the initials "USDHS" or "DHS."
Your check or money order must be honored by the bank
or financial institution. If it is not, we will charge you a
fee for a returned/bounced check and your request for
Premium Processing Service will be terminated.

How to Check If the Fees Are Correct?
The form and biometric fees on this form are current as of the
edition date appearing in the lower right corner of this page.
However, because USCIS fees change periodically, you can

below:

package, if you called us to request the form; or
