Page 1, When Should I Use Form I-907?	[Page 1] When Should I Use Form I-907? You should use Form I-907 to request Premium Processing Service for the petitions or applications where Premium Processing Service is available. Visit our website at www.uscis.gov/forms/how-do-i-use-premium-processing-service for details about which petitions or applications are available for this service. You may file your request for Premium Processing Service with the applicable petition or application. You may also file the request for Premium Processing Service after you file the applicable petition or application, as long as USCIS has not made a final decision on the applicable 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 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 that USCIS will take one of several possible actions (issue an approval notice, a denial notice, a notice of intent to deny, or a request for evidence) on the petition or application within a certain processing timeframe. The length of the processing timeframe is based on the classification or category requested. Refer to the table in the What Is the Filing Fee and Processing Time? section of these Instructions for the relevant premium processing timeframes. If we do not take action on the petition or application within the applicable processing timeframe, your Premium Processing Service fee will be refunded, but we will continue to process the case. However, we may retain the premium processing fee and not take action on the petition or application within the applicable processing timeframe if we open an investigation for fraud or misrepresentation relating to the benefit request. In the event USCIS issues a notice of intent to deny or a request for evidence, the premium processing timeframe will stop and will re-commence with a new applicable timeframe on the date that we receive a response to the notice of intent to deny or the request for evidence.
