When Should I Use Form I-907?

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 website 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, variant 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 Accredited Representative, or Form G-28I, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney
In Matters Outside the Geographical Confines of the United States, unless the attorney or accredited representative
has already filed Form G-28 or Form G-28I in the case. The Form G-28 or Form G-28I filed with Form I-907 by a
new attorney or accredited representative will replace Form G-28 or Form G-28I 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 business 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 business 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 business 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 business day
processing from the date the response was received.

Signature. Each request must be properly signed and filed. For all signatures on this request, USCIS will not accept a
stamped or typewritten name in place of a signature. If you are under 14 years of age, your parent or legal guardian may
sign the request on your behalf. A legal guardian may also sign for a mentally incompetent person.
NOTE: If Form I-907 does not contain a handwritten signature, we will return the request for Premium Processing
Service (along with the $1,440 Premium Processing Service fee) to the requestor.
Validity of Signatures. USCIS will consider a photocopied, faxed, or scanned copy of the original, handwritten signature
valid for filing purposes. The photocopy, fax, or scan must be of the original document containing the handwritten, ink
signature.

Filing Fee. Each request must be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee. (See the What Is the Filing Fee section of
these Instructions.)
Evidence. At the time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting documentation listed in the Specific
Instructions section of these Instructions.
NOTE: Upon receiving your request, USCIS may ask for more evidence or an interview. We also may conduct an
investigation.
Biometric Services Appointment. USCIS may require that you appear for an interview or provide biometrics (for
example, fingerprints, photograph, and/or signature) at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional information, and
conduct background and security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI), before making a decision on your application or petition. After USCIS receives your request
and ensures it is complete, we will inform you in writing if you need to attend a biometric services appointment. If an
appointment is necessary, the notice will provide you the location of your local or designated USCIS Application Support
Center (ASC) and the date and time of your appointment or, if you are currently overseas, instruct you to contact a U.S.
Embassy, U.S. Consulate, or USCIS office outside the United States to set up an appointment.
If you are required to provide biometrics, at your appointment you must sign an oath reaffirming that:
1. You provided or authorized all information in the request;

2. You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in, and submitted with, your request; and
3. All of this information was complete, true, and correct at the time of filing.

If you fail to attend your biometric services appointment, USCIS may deny your request.

Copies. You should submit legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the Instructions specifically state that you
must submit an original document. USCIS may request an original document at the time of filing or at any time during
processing of an application or petition. If USCIS requests an original document from you, it will be returned to you after
USCIS determines it no longer needs your original.
NOTE: If you submit original documents when not required or requested by USCIS, your original documents may be
immediately destroyed after we receive them.
Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English
translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that
he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must include the translator’s
signature. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recommends the certification contain the translator’s printed
name, the signature date, and the translator’s contact information.
NOTE: You must fill out a separate Form I-907 for each petition or application submitted. Follow the steps below to
complete your request process.

Notice to Those Paying by Check. If you send USCIS a check, we will convert it into an electronic funds transfer (EFT).
This means we will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your account for the
amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually take 24 hours and your bank will show it on your regular
account statement.
You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but will keep a copy of it. If USCIS
cannot process the EFT for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If
your check is returned as unpayable, we will re-submit the payment to the financial institution one time. If your check is
returned as unpayable, we may reject your request.
