You should use Form I-907 to request Premium Processing Service for the petitions or applications that U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) has designated as eligible for Premium Processing Service. Visit our Web site at
www.uscis.gov/forms/how-do-i-use-premium-processing-service for details about which petitions or applications are
eligible for this service.
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 USCIS has not made
a final decision on the eligible petition or application. You cannot request Premium Processing Service for a petition or
application that is reopened after an initial decision was made on the petition or application.
You, or your attorney or accredited representative, may request Premium Processing Service only if you filed the
corresponding petition or application (for example, Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker). Any attorney
or accredited representative who makes the request must also file a properly completed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of
Appearance as Attorney or Representative, unless the attorney or accredited representative has already filed Form G-28
in the case. The 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 USCIS will recognize the new attorney as the attorney of record in
the case.
Premium Processing Service guarantees 15-calendar-day processing of certain employment-based petitions or
applications. USCIS will refund the Premium Processing Service fee (but continue to process the case) if we do not take
action on the related case within 15 calendar days of receiving a properly filed Form I-907. USCIS has taken action on a
case if we issue an approval notice or, where appropriate, issue a request for evidence, notice of intent to deny, or a denial
notice, or open an investigation for suspected fraud or misrepresentation on the related petition or application.
The processing time is met if USCIS issues an approval, a request for evidence, notice of intent to deny, or a denial notice
within 15 calendar days of receipt or if the case is referred for investigation of suspected fraud or misrepresentation. Once
USCIS receives a response to the request for evidence or notice of intent to deny, USCIS will guarantee 15-calendar-day
processing from the date the response was received.

may remain a part of the record, and USCIS will not automatically return them to you.

What is the Filing Fee?

The filing fee for Form I-907 is $1,225.

The $1,225 Premium Processing fee is in addition to all other applicable filing fees. The petitioner, applicant, attorney
or accredited representative, or beneficiary may pay the $1,225 fee, but the beneficiary cannot sign 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 Form I-907).
NOTE: USCIS will only refund the filing fee if we do not take action on the related case within 15 calendar days of
receiving your Form I-907. Otherwise, the filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this
request. DO NOT MAIL CASH. You must submit all fees in the exact amount.
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; and
2. Make the check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
NOTE: Spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials “USDHS” or “DHS.”
3. 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.
