US Citizenship and Immigration Services or USCIS has announced a phased reopening of premium processing for various visa applications, including H-1B petitions.
Effective June 8, USCIS will accept premium processing requests for H-1B petitions filed before June 8 that are pending adjudication and are cap-exempt. (For example, petitions filed by petitioners that are cap-exempt and petitions filed for beneficiaries previously counted toward the numerical allocations).
Effective June 8, USCIS will accept premium processing requests for all other Form I-129 petitions (non H-1B petitions) for nonimmigrant classifications eligible for premium processing filed before June 8 that are pending adjudication.
