USCIS Premium Processing

USCIS Premium Processing is a service that allows certain visa applicants to expedite the processing of their petitions or applications for an additional fee. Typically, it guarantees a decision within 15 calendar days, which can significantly reduce waiting times compared to standard processing, which can take months. This service is particularly useful for employers and individuals who need faster resolution for work-related visas. If USCIS does not meet the 15-day timeframe, the premium processing fee is refunded. However, this service is not available for all visa categories.
