I’d like to know if premium processing is available for I-539.
Unlike my spouse, I need to file I-539, and my work authorization hasn’t come through since last year, so I haven’t been able to work.
I need to extend my visa/status again this time — I’d like to know if I’m also able to use premium processing, and whether I could get a faster result.
Premium processing is being expanded to include applications for change of nonimmigrant status (I-539), work authorization (I-765), and employment-based petitions (I-140). This is set to take effect starting this fiscal year, rolling out first for employment-based first preference (global company executives, individuals of extraordinary ability) and second-preference NIW. Please keep this in mind.
