The filing location for Form I-907 depends on whether you are requesting premium processing for Form I-129, Form I-140, Form I-765, or Form I-539.

Form I-129 and Form I-140:

If you are requesting premium processing for Form I-129 or Form I-140, please visit our Form I-129 or Form I-140 pages to find the correct filing address. Do not send requests for premium processing for I-129 or I-140 to a USCIS lockbox.

Form I-765:

If you are an F-1 student seeking OPT or a STEM OPT extension and you are requesting premium processing for your Form I-765, you may submit your Form I-907 online or mail a paper form. Go to our Filing Form I-907 For Form I-765 or Form I-539 page to see where you should file your application.

Due to limitations with the online Form I-907, representatives who previously filed a Form G-28 for Form I-765, will need to file a new Form G-28 when filing Form I-907 online to request premium processing of the underlying benefit request. Representatives who prefer not to file a second Form G-28 online must file their premium processing request and Form G-28 with the appropriate lockbox.

Form I-539:

If you are requesting premium processing for a Form I-539 seeking change of status to one of the following classifications, submit your Form I-907 online or on paper. Go to our Filing Form I-907 For Form I-765 or Form I-539 page to see where you should file your application.

F-1 Academic Student and F-2 Dependent of F-1
M-1 Vocational Student and M-2 Dependent of M-1
J-1 Exchange Visitor and J-2 Dependent of J-1

$2,500 if you are requesting premium processing of Form I-129 requesting E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-3, L (including blanket L-1), O, P, Q, or TN nonimmigrant classification.

$1,500 if you are requesting premium processing of Form I-129 requesting H-2B or R nonimmigrant classification.

$2,500 if you are requesting premium processing of Form I-140 requesting EB-1, EB-2, or EB-3 immigrant visa classification.

$1,500 if you are requesting premium processing of Form I-765 with eligibility category (C)(3)(A), (C)(3)(B), or (C)(3)(C).

$1,750 if you are requesting premium processing of Form I-539 seeking change of status to F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1, or J-2 nonimmigrant status.

These fees are in addition to all other filing fees required by the application or petition you are submitting. You cannot request waiver of a fee for a form for which you are requesting premium processing.

You can pay the fee with a money order, personal check, cashier’s check or pay by credit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions. If you pay by check, you must make your check payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

When you send a payment, you agree to pay for a government service. Filing and biometric service fees are final and non-refundable, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request, or if you withdraw your request. Use our Fee Calculator to help determine your fee.

You should pay each filing fee separately. We are transitioning to electronically processing immigration benefit requests, which requires us to use multiple systems to process your request. We may reject your entire package if you submit a single, combined payment for multiple forms.
