Here’s the news a lot of people were waiting. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) announced yesterday (12/01) that from January 30 will extend the Modality of Premium Processing for all petitions of EB-2 NIW, either for new processes or even for old applications that still await immigration analysis.
Premium Processing provides for a petition for an immigration benefit to be evaluated within 45 days, much faster than the average waiting time (currently around 10 to 14 months).” The premium processing request fee is $2,500.
We will soon bring you more details about the implementation of Premium Processing for the EB-2 NIW in an explanatory video recorded by Dr. Marcelo Gondim.
