SCOPS Liaison Update on Premium Processing for I-140s

Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 08061032 (posted Jun. 10, 2008)" Barbara Velarde from Service Center Operations has confirmed that on July 16, 2008, USCIS will resume premium processing for I-140's in limited circumstances. As previously reported, AILA has been working with USCIS to address the situation of "H-ing out", where an individual needs the approved I-140 to receive additional H time under AC21. Premium processing should be available for those beneficiaries whose H will expire within 60 days of filing the request, and who need the I-140 approval to become eligible for that additional H time. An official notice has not yet been issued by USCIS. Further details will be posted as they become available.
