USCIS Resumes Premium Processing for Some Categories of Applicants Seeking H-1B Visas

by

On Monday, September 18th, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) resumed premium processing for all H-1B visa petitions subject to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 cap. The FY 2018 H-1B visa cap has been set by Congress at 65,000 visas plus 20,000 additional visas set aside for applicants with a master’s degree or higher.

When a petitioner requests the agency’s premium processing service, USCIS guarantees a 15-day processing time and if that can’t be met, the agency will refund the petitioner’s premium processing service fee and continue with expedited processing of that application.
