…
You, or your attorney or accredited representative, may request Premium Processing Service only if you filed the corresponding petition or application (for example, Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker). Any attorney or accredited representative who makes the request must also file a properly completed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, or Form G-28I, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney In Matters Outside the Geographical Confines of the United States, unless the attorney or accredited representative has already filed Form G-28 or Form G-28I in the case. The Form G-28 or Form G-28I filed with Form I-907 by a new attorney or accredited representative will replace Form G-28 or Form G-28I filed with the underlying petition or application, and USCIS will recognize the new attorney as the attorney of record in the case.
Premium Processing Service guarantees 15 calendar day processing of certain employment-based petitions or applications. USCIS will refund the Premium Processing Service fee (but continue to process the case) if we do not take action on the related case within 15 calendar days of receiving a properly filed Form I-907. USCIS has taken action on a case if we issue an approval notice or, where appropriate, issue a request for evidence, notice of intent to deny, or a denial notice, or open an investigation for suspected fraud or misrepresentation on the related petition or application.
The processing time is met if USCIS issues an approval, a request for evidence, notice of intent to deny, or a denial notice within 15 calendar days of receipt or if the case is referred for investigation of suspected fraud or misrepresentation. Once USCIS receives a response to the request for evidence or notice of intent to deny, USCIS will guarantee 15 calendar day processing from the date the response was received.
