U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced Friday that it will resume premium processing in phases beginning June 1 for Form I-129 Nonimmigrant Worker and Form I-140 Immigrant Worker petitions.
Key Points:
Additional information: USCIS suspended premium processing March 20 for all Form I-129 Nonimmigrant Worker and Form I-140 Immigrant Worker petitions because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In its announcement Friday, the agency stressed that dates are subject to change and that it would announce such changes if they are made.
BAL Analysis: Employers are encouraged to work with BAL to identify cases that qualify for premium processing as USCIC reintroduces the service in phases next month.
