USCIS will no longer accept previous editions of this form. To request premium processing on or after January 30, the Form I-907 (Request for Premium Processing)―version dated November 3, 2022―must be filed. Starting January 30, 2023, USCIS will further expand premium processing for any new (initial) or currently pending Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers) filed for EB-1 multinational executives or managers and EB-2 advanced degree or exceptional ability professionals seeking a national interest waiver. Please note that if the I-539 (H-4 or L-2) applications and I-765 (H-4 EAD) applications are filed separately, USCIS will not adjudicate those applications with the I-129 for the principal applicant. Now, the applications for spouses and children will be decided at the same time as the principal, even when premium processing is requested―but only when requesting premium processing with the initial filing of the I-129 form. This is due to a settlement with the government, which is a reversal of a 2019 decision by USCIS to decouple H-4 and L-2 pending applications from the concurrently filed I-129 (which caused unnecessary H-4, EAD and L-2 delays). ![]() Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) returned to bundling adjudication of Form I-539 (Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status) and Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) for H-4 and L-2 derivatives along with the underlying I-129 for the principal applicant for concurrent filings. ![]()
