U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has sent a rule that will expand premium processing to additional benefit request types to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. The text of the rule is not yet available.
Key Points:
Background: In October 2020, Congress passed a funding bill that contained changes to premium processing, including increasing fees and giving USCIS authority to expand premium processing to additional petition types designated in the law. BAL will continue monitoring the USCIS rule and will provide updated information as it becomes available.
