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:
Step 1 - Fill Out Form I-907

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 Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as
Attorney or Representative, must accompany the request,
unless the attorney or accredited representative has already
filed Form G-28 in the case. Form G-28 filed with Form I-907
by a new attorney or accredited representative will replace
Form G-28 filed with the underlying petition or application,
and the new attorney will be recognized as the attorney of
record 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

requested immigration benefit. To do this, we may ask for
more evidence, interview you, and/or conduct an
investigation.

Use black ink only. Type or print clearly using CAPITAL
letters. If an item does not apply to you, write "N/A." If the

Part 2 - Information About Request
Provide 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 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 Form I-907 or your Form I-907 will be
rejected and the filing fee returned. If you are filing 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 do not have to complete block 2 because, if
you are filing Form I-907 together with the underlying form,
you will not know the receipt number of the underlying form
at the time you file.

Part 3 - Original Signature
The petitioner, applicant, attorney, or accredited representative
must sign and date the request. If 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 $1,225 Premium Processing Service fee) will
be returned to the requester.

Where To File?
Submit the request. 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 Form I-907 electronically, refer
to the USCIS Web site at www.uscis.gov and click on
"FORMS."
The filing location for 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 these instructions.
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 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 Form I-907 depends on whether you
are requesting Premium Processing Service for Form I-129
or for Form I-140.
