What Is The Purpose Of Form I-907?
According to the USCIS, Form I-907 can be used to “request Premium Processing” on specific visa applications or petitions. In laymen’s terms, you can use this form to speed up the immigration process if you’re a foreign national seeking employment in the U.S.
Who Is Eligible To Use Form I-907?
Remember, I-907 is not an option for all visa applications. It can only be used for:
- Form I-129:You can use Form I-907 to request premium processing on Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, as long as you’re seeking R-1 classification. One important thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need to complete an on-site inspection before becoming eligible to use Form I-907.
- Form I-140:Form I-907 can also be used to request premium processing on Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker. There’s a wide array of conditions in this category. You can find the full list of conditions here.
It’s also important to note that you might not be able to request Premium Processing year-round. There are specific dates on which the service is available. So, it’s important to keep an eye on the USCIS website or work with an attorney who can keep you abreast of the open window dates.
How To Complete Form I-907
Follow these simple steps to complete your Form I-907:
Part One
Part one is where you’ll fill out all personal information, including your:
- Alien Registration Number
- USCIS Account Number (If applicable)
- Full name
- Name of the organization sponsoring you
- The Premium Processing Service you wish to claim
Part Two
Next, you’ll provide details about the request you’re making. This part has eight steps, which you’ll need to fill out regardless of whether or not you’re requesting an upgrade. If you fail to fill out a step, the USCIS will reject your application.
Part Three
Here you’ll put your name and signature. Make sure you use a black ink pen and not a stamp. You’ll also be required to provide a statement, declaration, and certification for part three. If you’ve used the help of an interpreter, you must also make that clear in this step. Finally, you’ll be asked for your contact information.
Part Four
If you used an interpreter to help you with the form, you’ll fill out their information here. Your interpreter will also need to provide certification and sign and date the form.
Part Five
If you are not the person who prepared the request for premium processing, you’ll need to provide the information about the person who did. If this was your interpreter, they’ll need to put their information here as well. If it was an attorney, they will submit the appropriate documents along with the requested, including Form G-28 or Form G-281.
Part Six
If you feel like you need to provide additional information for your request, you can do that in part six. If there’s not enough room on the page, you can attach documentation to part six, just make sure you print your name and account number at the top of every sheet and indicate which part the notes or documentation are referring to. Then, sign and date all forms.
