I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service
Alert: USCIS no longer accepts and will destroy any prepaid mailers submitted with Form I-907 to send out any communication or final notices for Forms I-129, I-140, I-539, or I-765. The use of pre-paid mailers ceased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to a lack of available staff to process the mailers and remains discontinued. We are in the process of removing this option from the “Form I-907 Checklist” on the Form I-907 Instructions. USCIS mails notices in a timely manner as soon as action is taken on a premium processing request.
Use this form to request faster processing of:
- Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker;
- Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers;
- Certain classifications of Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization; and
- Certain classifications of Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status.

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
If you are requesting premium processing for Form I-129 visit our Form I-129 page to find the correct filing address.
Form I-140
If you are requesting premium processing for Form I-140, visit our Form I-140 page to find the correct filing address.
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 through myUSCIS or mail a paper form. Go to our Direct Filing Addresses for Filing Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, For Form I-765 or Form I-539, page to see where you should file your request.
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 mail a paper form.
- F-1 Academic Student and F-2 Dependent of F-1;
- M-1 Vocational Student and M-2 Dependent of M-1; or
- J-1 Exchange Visitor and J-2 Dependent of J-1.

You can find the filing fee for Form I-907 by visiting our Fee Schedule page.
You can pay the fee with a money order, personal check, cashier’s check, or pay by credit card or debit 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 fees are final and non-refundable, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request, or if you withdraw your request. If you pay by credit card or debit card, you cannot later dispute the payment. Use our Fee Calculator to help determine your fee.
If you are submitting multiple forms, pay each filing fee separately. We are transitioning to electronically processing immigration benefit requests, which requires us to use multiple systems to process your package. We may reject your entire package if you submit a single, combined payment for multiple forms.
Review our Tips for Filing Forms by Mail page for information on how to ensure we will accept your form.
Don’t forget to sign your form. We will reject any unsigned form.

If Part 1. Item Number 4. (Company Name) of your Form I-907 is left blank, you must complete the below Item Numbers to prevent the rejection of your form and return of the fee. Entering ‘N/A’ or ‘none’ is not an acceptable response for the Item Numbers below:

When requesting premium processing for an eligible form or classification, please submit only one Form I-907 with that one eligible form or classification.
If you are seeking premium processing for a single eligible form, please only submit a single Form I-907 for the form that is eligible for premium processing (such as Form I-140 or I-765). Do not include in your packet Forms I-907 that are unrelated to the form for which you are seeking premium processing. This will delay the processing of your request.
If you are submitting a packet containing concurrently filed and associated forms (such as Forms I-140, I-485, I-765, and I-131) and you are requesting premium processing for any of the eligible forms or classifications included in the packet, please only include a single Form I-907 for each eligible form included in the packet. The inclusion of Forms I-907 for petitions or applications which you might have filed separately will delay the processing of all of the forms included in your submission.
If you are requesting premium processing for an eligible petition or application that you submitted earlier (an upgrade), please include only one Form I-907 for the previously filed petition in your submission. Do not submit multiple or unrelated Forms I-907 in the same envelope. The inclusion of multiple Forms I-907 will delay the processing of your request.
Religious Workers (Form I-129 R-1 classification): Previously, USCIS had required the successful completion of an on-site inspection before a petitioner was eligible to file for premium processing. This is no longer generally the case.
