USCIS ISSUES NEWS RELEASE
EXPANDING PREMIUM PROCESSING
SERVICE TO GREEN CARD CASES
The USCIS issued a News Release today stating
that beginning on 8/28/06 it will begin accepting
Premium Processing requests for petitions
involving two employment-based immigration
categories within the third employment-based
preference (i.e. EB3 filing category). Beginning
on 8/28/06, the USCIS will allow premium
processing petitions for EB-3 Professionals
(immigrant workers with bachelors degrees who
are members of the professions) and EB-3 Skilled
Workers (immigrant workers capable of
performing skilled labor requiring at least two
years of education, training, or experience).
Premium Processing allows an employer to pay
an additional $1,000.00 filing fee to the USCIS
for the guarantee that it will issue either an
approval notice, notice of intent to deny, a
request for evidence or open an investigation for
fraud or misrepresentation, within 15 days of
receipt. If more than 15 days passes without
the USCIS taking action on the case, they will
refund the $1,000 fee.
