NIW PREMIUM PROCESSING ANNOUNCED!

On March 29, 2022 USCIS at long last announced that premium processing will soon be available for EB-2 National Interest Waiver petitions. Premium processing will be available for both newly filed cases and currently pending cases. The USCIS fee for premium processing is expected to be $2,500.00. USCIS plans to begin a phased implementation for expanding premium processing and the EB-2 NIW will be part of the first phase. A full reading of the text of the law suggests that NIW premium processing will begin sometime in late May to early June. We will closely monitor USCIS and notify our clients with pending NIW cases as soon as premium processing becomes eligible. If you are interested in getting the paper work prepared in advanced so that everything is ready to file the day NIW premium processing becomes available please reach out to us for further information.
