What is Premium Processing?
Premium processing is a service USCIS provides that allows for expedited processing of O-1 and P-1 visa petitions. This service guarantees a decision within 15 calendar days, ensuring that applicants receive a prompt response to their visa applications. Key aspects of premium processing include:
- Fast Adjudication—USCIS processes the petition within 15 calendar days.
- Additional fee—An extra fee is required for this expedited service.
- Refund guarantee—If USCIS does not meet the 15-day deadline, the premium processing fee is refunded, and the case continues to receive expedited treatment.
Premium processing is ideal for those who need their visa applications processed quickly to meet professional commitments and deadlines. It provides peace of mind and allows applicants to plan their work and travel schedules more confidently.
