US resumes premium processing of H1B visas


Premium processing of H1B visa was suspended in April to handle huge rush of new petitions. The US citizenship and immigration services (USCIS) resumed premium processing on Monday for all H1B visa petitions subject to the fiscal year 2018 cap, a media release said. When a petitioner requests the agency’s premium processing service, USCIS guarantees a 15-day processing time. In addition to resumption of premium processing for H1B via petitions subject to the FY 2018 cap, USCIS previously resumed premium processing H1B petitions filed on behalf of physicians under the Conrad 30 waiver programme, as well as interested government agency waivers and for certain H1B petitions that are not subject to the cap. “Premium processing remains temporarily suspended for all other H-1B petitions, such as extensions of stay,” the USCIS said, adding that it plans to resume premium processing for all other remaining H-1B petitions not subject to the FY 2018 cap, as agency workloads permit.
