The chart below lists the forms, designated classifications within each form type, and current availability and termination dates (when applicable) for premium processing service. If the petition requires the submission of additional evidence or a response to a notice of intent to deny, the 15 or 45-day premium processing time period will stop, and a new time period will begin when we receive a complete response to the request for evidence or notice of intent to deny. We will issue an approval notice, denial notice, notice of intent to deny, or request for evidence, or will open an investigation for fraud or misrepresentation within the associated time period. A properly received petition must be complete with a proper signature and accompanied by the correct fee. The associated time period will begin when we properly receive the Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, at the correct filing address noted on the form. As new categories become available, please refer to the chart below for corresponding processing times. Specifically, we guarantee that we will take some adjudicative action on the case within 15 calendar days for most classifications or 45 calendar days for Form I-140 E13 multinational executive and manager and Form I-140 E21 national interest waiver classifications, or we will refund the premium processing fee and will continue with expedited processing.
