Adr Processing Fee

[Tadeo Lentz]

Includethe time your application is at one of our passport agencies or centers. You may get your passport on a different date than your family member or friend.Mailing times are not included in processing times. Consider the total time it will take to receive your passport when you are booking travel. It may take two weeks for your application to get to us, and two weeks for you to get your passport after we mail it.

You may receive your passport and the supporting documents in separate mailings. If you are renewing a passport card, we will send it to you via First Class Mail. We do not use 1-2 day delivery services if you only applied for a passport card.

We change our processing times as demand for passports changes during the year. From late winter into summer, demand for passports is generally higher than other periods of the year. Plan ahead and apply during our slower season from October through December.

If you receive a letter or email requesting more information to complete your application, respond as soon as possible. If you receive this letter or email, it may take longer to get your passport. Follow the instructions in the letter or email, and go to our Respond to a Letter or Email page for more information.

As of March 6, 2023, certain F-1 students seeking Optional Practical Training (OPT) and F-1 students seeking science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) OPT extensions who have a pending Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and wish to request a premium processing upgrade, can file their Form I-907 online.

After any I-765 is approved, your EAD card should be produced within two weeks. We will mail your EAD card via U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail. The time frame for receiving your EAD card may vary, depending on USPS delivery times. Please allow 30 days from approval before inquiring with USCIS. We encourage you to track delivery of your card. If you do not receive your EAD card, please visit e-Request - Self Service Tools (uscis.gov) for instructions on how to submit an inquiry.

There is a fee to request this service. If you request premium processing, we guarantee that we will take adjudicative action on the case, as described below, within the time periods described below, or we will refund the premium processing fee:

If the petition or application requires the submission of additional evidence or a response to a notice of intent to deny, the 15-, 30-, or 45-day premium processing time period will stop and reset. A new premium processing time period will begin when we receive a response to the request for evidence or notice of intent to deny.

Petitioners filing Form I-129 requesting a change or an initial grant of status for beneficiaries within the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are not eligible for premium processing service.

2 The termination date reflects the last day that we accepted premium processing filings requesting that specific classification. If a date is entered in this column, that classification is currently ineligible for premium processing.

3 We initially suspended premium processing for nonimmigrant religious worker visa petitions on Nov. 28, 2006. On July 20, 2009, we started accepting Form I-907 for I-129 petitions seeking R-1 classification.

2 The termination date reflects the last day that we accepted filings requesting that specific classification. If a date is entered in this column, that classification is currently ineligible for premium processing.

Beginning June 1, 2022, we began phasing in premium processing for E13 multinational executives and managers. On July 1, 2022, we began phasing in E21 petitions seeking a national interest waiver (NIW) and additional E13 multinational executive and manager petitions. As of Jan. 30, 2023, all pending and initial Form I-140 petitions under an E13 multinational executive and manager classification and E21 NIW classification are eligible to request premium processing.

On June 13, 2023 we began phasing in premium processing for applicants seeking a change of status to F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1, or J-2 status, who have a pending Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status. Online filing of Form I-907 is also available to these applicants. Please refer to the chart below regarding the upgrade schedule and when new applications may be filed with the request for premium processing.

No, except in cases where the petitioner is eligible to file a self-petition (that is, the petitioner and the beneficiary are the same). Otherwise, only the petitioner (or the attorney or representative who has filed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, on behalf of the petitioner) may request premium processing for a designated petition. While the petitioner, beneficiary, attorney, or representative, however, may pay the premium processing service fee, the beneficiary cannot sign or file Form I-907.

For Form I-140 and I-129 petitions that are filed together with Form I-907, we will reject both the underlying petition and request for premium processing if they are not filed at the correct location. The filing location is based on the underlying petition. A listing of those locations can be found on either the I-129 or I-140 Direct Filing Addresses webpage.

For Form I-140 petitions we will not reject any standalone Form I-907 that is mistakenly filed at a service center without geographic jurisdiction over the underlying Form I-140 petition. We will reject any standalone I-907 filed at a Lockbox, because it was not filed at the correct location. For incorrectly filed Forms I-907, the premium processing time period begins on the date the correct service center receives the file, as indicated in the Form I-907 filing instructions.

If you are an F-1 student and you have already filed Form I-765 requesting OPT or a STEM OPT extension and you now wish to request premium processing, file Form I-907 online or with the Chicago Lockbox.

Since June 13, 2023, USCIS has been accepting Form I-907 requests filed via paper form or online, for nonimmigrants who have a pending Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, and requested a change of status to one of the following:

If you already submitted Form I-539 to request a change of status to one of these classifications, and you want to request premium processing, file Form I-907 online or on paper with the appropriate Lockbox. You must file Form I-907 the same way you submitted Form I-539 (online or via paper form.)

For Form I-539 requesting a change of status to F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1, or J-2 status, Form I-907 will be rejected if the application is not an eligible category for premium processing or if we are not able to match your Form I-907 with the receipt for your Form I-539 requesting a change of status.

Please note that when requesting premium processing, either by filing the Form I-907 together with the eligible form (such as Form I-140 or I-129) or for a previously filed eligible form, you must submit only one Form I-907 for the one eligible form or classification. Do not submit unrelated Forms I-907 in the same envelope. This will delay the processing of your request.

For example, if you are filing a Form I-140 and seek premium processing for that Form I-140, you would submit the Form I-140 with Form I-907. However, do not submit multiple Forms I-907 for the same Form I-140 and do not include Forms I-907 for other Forms I-140 that you might have submitted previously. This will delay the processing of your request.

To file Form I-907 online, you must first create a USCIS online account, which provides a convenient and secure method to submit forms, pay fees, and track the status of any pending USCIS immigration request throughout the adjudication process. There is no cost to set up a USCIS online account, which offers a superior user experience over paper filing. If you have previously filed a USCIS form online, you may use your existing USCIS online account.

Due to limitations with the online Form I-907, representatives who previously filed a Form G-28 will need to file a new Form G-28 when requesting premium processing. Representatives who prefer not to file Form G-28 online must file their premium processing request and Form G-28 with the appropriate lockbox.

If necessary, we will apply a random selection process to all petitions received on the final receipt date for cap-subject H-2B and H-3 petitions, regardless of whether premium processing is requested. We will adjudicate these randomly selected cases and will reject and return the fees for any unselected cases, as well as cases that were filed after the final receipt date.

If necessary, for the H-1B cap, we will apply a random selection process to all registrations received during the initial registration period or final registration date. If we suspend the registration process, we will apply a random selection process to all petitions received on the final receipt date for cap-subject H-1B petitions, regardless of whether premium processing is requested. If the final receipt date is any of the first five business days on which petitions subject to the H-1B regular cap may be received (i.e., if the cap is reached on any one of the first five business days that filings can be made), we will randomly select from among all the petitions properly submitted during the first five business days the number of petitions deemed necessary to meet the H-1B cap. In either scenario, we will adjudicate these randomly selected petitions and will reject and return the fees for any unselected petitions, as well as petitions that were filed after the final receipt date.
