I-140 Premium Processing from July 16, 2008 for Certain Cases An official from USCIS Service Center Operations has just confirmed that the USCIS will resume premium processing of I-140 immigrant petitions for foreign national workers on a limited basis, as of July 16, 2008. This option was suspended effective July 2, 2007, when the priority dates became current and were unavailable as of that date. No USCIS official notice has been issued as of this writing. ©MurthyDotCom It is believed that I-140 premium processing will be made available to those who need their I-140s approved in order to be eligible for H1B time beyond the six-year limit. This would apply to H1B workers who have only 60 days remaining before the end of the H1B six-year limit, but who do not qualify for extensions based upon the priority date of the labor certification filings, alone. In that instance, the I-140 approval will permit an H1B extension for an additional three years in those situations where the priority date is not current / available. ©MurthyDotCom We at the Murthy Law Firm are pleased to share the latest breaking news of this important development, which is of great interest to our readers and to U.S. employers hiring foreign national employees. ____________________________________________ I-140 Premium Processing for Limited Cases to Start June 16, 2008 The USCIS issued an official notice on June 11, 2008 confirming that, on June 16, 2008, premium processing will be available for I-140 petitions on a limited basis. The information released earlier carried an anticipated starting date of July 16, 2008. The premium processing service for I-140s will only be available for foreign nationals who are reaching the end of their sixth year of H1B status and who otherwise would not be eligible for H1B extension. all india Utter Flop Hero Fans UUUUth President |
