When Should I Use Form I-907?

You should use Form I-907 to request Premium Processing Service for the petitions or applications for which Premium
Processing Service is available. Visit our website at www.uscis.gov/forms/how-do-i-use-premium-processing-service
for details about which immigration benefit requests are available for this service.
You may file your request for Premium Processing Service with the applicable benefit request. You may also file the
request for Premium Processing Service after you file the applicable benefit request, as long as USCIS has not made a
final decision on the request. You cannot request Premium Processing Service for a benefit request that is reopened after
an initial decision was made on the request.
You, or your attorney or accredited representative, may request Premium Processing Service only if you filed the
corresponding immigration benefit request (for example, Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker). Any attorney
or accredited representative who submits the request must also file a properly completed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of
Appearance as Attorney or Accredited 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 or Form G-28I filed with the underlying benefit request, 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 immigration benefit request 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 Which Forms are Designated for Premium Processing? section of these Instructions for the
relevant premium processing timeframes. If we do not take action on the benefit request 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 request 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.

Signature. You (or your signing authority) must properly complete your request. USCIS will not accept a stamped or
typewritten name in place of any signature on this request. 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. If your request is
not signed, or if the signature is not valid, we will reject your request. See 8 CFR 103.2(a)(7)(ii)(A). If USCIS accepts a
request for adjudication and determines that it has a deficient signature, USCIS may deny the request.
NOTE: If Form I-907 does not contain a handwritten signature, we will return the request for Premium Processing
Service (along with the Premium Processing Service fee) to the requestor.
Validity of Signatures. USCIS will consider a photocopied, faxed, or scanned copy of the original, handwritten signature
as valid for filing purposes. The photocopy, fax, or scan must be of the original document containing the handwritten, ink
signature.

OAN in your account profile. If you mailed us the form, you can find your OAN at the top of the Account Access Notice
we sent you. If you do not have a receipt number that begins with IOE, you do not have an OAN. The OAN is not the

Which Forms are Designated for Premium Processing?

The following benefit requests are designated under the regulations for Premium Processing Service. Please be aware
that you may only request premium processing for a benefit if USCIS has announced on its website that premium
processing is available for that benefit. Your request for premium processing must also comply with any conditions that
may apply. Therefore, you may not request premium processing for a benefit that is designated for premium processing
under the regulations but not available for premium processing on the USCIS website. To determine if Premium
Processing is available for your benefit request, please visit our website at www.uscis.gov/I-907 or call the USCIS
Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) call: 1-800-767-1833.
