급행 (Premium Processing) 서비스 1월말부터 점차 확대 시행

발표일시: 2023.1.12

이민국 (USCIS)은 지난 1월 12일 급행서비스 (Premium Processing Service) 확대안을 최종 공지하고 오는 1월 30일부터 시행에 들어간다고 발표했다.

 

기존에 제한을 두던 I-140 취업이민 페티션을 사용하는 1순위 (EB-1)와 2순위 (EB-2) 몇몇 카테고리에 대해 급행신청 (Premium Processing Service)을 허용했다. 이미 일반 (Regular)으로 신청된 E13 (Multinational Executive and Manager Classification)과 E21 (Member of Professions with Advanced Degrees or Execptional Ability Seeking a National Interest Waiver, NIW) 카테고리에 급행서비스로의 업그레이드를 허용키로 한 데 더해 신규 접수케이스도 급행신청을 받아들이기로 했다.

 

한편, 3월중 I-765 워크퍼밋 신청이 펜딩중인  F-1 OPT (Optional Practical Training)와 STEM OPT 신청서들에도 급행서비스를 확대 적용키로 했으며, 4월중 신규 OPT, STEM OPT 신청서에도 급행서비스를 받아주기로 했다.

 

또한 I-539를 사용하는 신청서에도 급행서비스를 확대 적용키로 했는데, 5월중엔 펜딩중인 학생과 교환방문자 변경 또는 연장신청서에 확대 적용할 예정이며 6월중엔 신규신청에도 받아줄 예정이라고 밝혔다.

USCIS Announces Final Phase of Premium Processing Expansion for EB-1 and EB-2 Form I-140 Petitions and Future Expansion for F-1 Students Seeking OPT and Certain Student and Exchange Visitors

Release Date 

01/12/2023

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is implementing the final phase of the premium processing expansion for Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, under the EB-1 and EB-2 classifications.

Unlike previous phases of the expansion, this phase applies to new (initial) petitions, in addition to all previously filed Form I-140 petitions under an E13 multinational executive and manager classification or E21 classification as a member of professions with advanced degrees or exceptional ability seeking a national interest waiver (NIW).

Petitioners who wish to request premium processing must file Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service.

Beginning Jan. 30, 2023, we will accept Form I-907 requests for:

• All pending E13 multinational executive and manager petitions and E21 NIW petitions; and
• All initial E13 multinational executive and manager petitions and E21 NIW petitions.

As previously announced, we are expanding premium processing to additional form types as part of our efforts to increase efficiency and reduce burdens to the overall legal immigration system. In March, we will expand premium processing to certain F-1 students seeking Optional Practical Training (OPT) and F-1 students seeking STEM OPT extensions who have a pending Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. In April, we will expand premium processing to F-1 students seeking OPT and F-1 students seeking STEM OPT extensions who are filing an initial Form I-765. We will announce specific dates for each group in February.

As we implement the expansion of premium processing in a phased approach, we will continue working toward premium processing availability of Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status. We anticipate expanding premium processing for certain student and exchange visitors with pending Form I-539 applications in May and certain student and exchange visitors who are filing initial Form I-539 applications in June. We will make an announcement when we are ready to implement these phases. We will also adhere to the legislative requirement that the expansion of premium processing does not result in an increase in processing times for immigration benefit requests not designated for premium processing or an increase in regular processing of immigration benefit requests so designated.
