What is Form I-907?
Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, is the USCIS form used to request Premium Processing Service, which guarantees that USCIS will take one of several actions on an eligible immigration benefit request within a set processing timeframe.
The actions that count are an approval notice, a denial notice, a notice of intent to deny, or a request for evidence. If USCIS takes none of them within the applicable timeframe, the Premium Processing Service fee is refunded and USCIS keeps processing the case. USCIS may keep the fee if it opens an investigation for fraud or misrepresentation. When USCIS issues a notice of intent to deny or a request for evidence, the timeframe stops and restarts with a new timeframe on the date USCIS receives your response.
The timeframe depends on the classification or category requested, when the service is available:
- Form I-129: 15 days for E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-3, L-1 (including Blanket L-1), O, P, Q, TN, H-2B and R classifications.
- Form I-140: 15 days for EB-1 (E11, E12), EB-2 (E21 non-NIW) and EB-3 (E31, E32, EW3); 45 days for EB-1 (E13) and EB-2 (E21 NIW), after all prerequisites are met.
- Form I-539: 30 days for the listed E, F, H-4, J, L-2, M, O-3, P-4 and R-2 classifications, after all prerequisites are met.
- Form I-765: 30 days for I-765 categories, after all prerequisites are met.
The premium processing fee is in addition to all other applicable filing fees; Form G-1055 explains the fees and how to pay them. You file a separate Form I-907 for each petition or application.
Who needs to file Form I-907?
The main filer is the petitioner or applicant who is filing, or has already filed, a petition or application eligible for Premium Processing Service. Part 1, Item Number 8 lets you choose whether you are the petitioner, the applicant, or the attorney or accredited representative of either.
- Attorneys and accredited representatives may file for the petitioner or applicant. They must also submit a properly completed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (or Form G-28I), unless one was already filed in the case. A Form G-28 filed by a new attorney with Form I-907 replaces the earlier G-28 or G-28I, and USCIS recognizes the new attorney as attorney of record.
- Signers for others: if you are under 14, your parent or legal guardian may sign for you. A legal guardian may also sign for a mentally incompetent person.
Who should not file: a beneficiary or co-applicant of the primary form cannot file Form I-907. You can request premium processing only if you filed the corresponding benefit request, and not for a benefit request that was reopened after an initial decision. You also cannot request it for a benefit that is designated in the regulations but not announced as available on the USCIS website.
When to file Form I-907
File Form I-907 together with the eligible petition or application, or afterward as an upgrade, as long as USCIS has not made a final decision on the benefit request. You cannot request premium processing for a benefit request that is reopened after an initial decision.
The instructions set no other deadline. The processing timeframe (15, 30 or 45 days, depending on the form and classification) is the period USCIS has to act once premium processing applies. If USCIS issues a request for evidence or a notice of intent to deny, the timeframe stops and a new one begins on the date USCIS receives your response.
Premium processing is available only for the benefits USCIS has announced on its website as available, so check uscis.gov/I-907 or call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 before you file.
Documents you need
- Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (or Form G-28I): required when an attorney or accredited representative submits the request, unless one was already filed in the case.
- A separate check or money order for the Premium Processing Service fee; Form G-1055 explains the fees and how to pay them.
- A separate check for the related petition or application, if you file it together with Form I-907.
- The related petition or application (for example Form I-129, Form I-140, Form I-765 or Form I-539), when you file Form I-907 together with it rather than as an upgrade of a case already filed.

Describe the related case
Part 2, Items 1 to 8: the form number, receipt number, classification requested, petitioner or applicant, beneficiary, point of contact, EIN and address. If filing together with the related form, the receipt number in Item 2 is not needed; an upgrade requires Items 1 to 8.

How to submit Form I-907
You can file Form I-907 with USCIS online or by mail.
- Online: create a USCIS online account or log in, then check the Forms Available to File Online page on uscis.gov to see when you or your representative can file Form I-907 online.
- By mail: the filing location depends on the related form. For Form I-129 or Form I-140, use the filing address on the USCIS page for that form. For Form I-765 from an F-1 student seeking OPT or a STEM OPT extension, and for Form I-539 changing status to F-1/F-2, M-1/M-2 or J-1/J-2, use the USCIS page Direct Filing Addresses for Filing Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, For Form I-765 or Form I-539. Current details are at uscis.gov/i-907.
Your mailed request needs a handwritten signature. A photocopy, fax or scan of the original signed request is valid for filing. Pay with a separate check or money order for the Premium Processing Service fee and, if you file the related form at the same time, a separate check for that form; see Form G-1055 for payment details. Send only one Form I-907 per eligible form, and do not mail it to the Paperwork Reduction Act address in the instructions.
For questions, call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283 (TTY 800-767-1833). FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Submitting Form I-907 without a handwritten signature or with a stamped or typewritten name; USCIS rejects an unsigned request and returns the fee.
- Leaving Part 1, Item 4 (company name) blank and then writing "N/A" or "none" in the items that must be completed instead; USCIS will not accept those entries.
- Leaving out Part 2 items for an upgrade: for a pending petition or application you must complete Item Numbers 1. through 8., or USCIS rejects the form.
- Putting several Forms I-907 in one envelope, or including one for a petition or application filed separately; this delays the whole packet.
- Filing as a beneficiary or co-applicant of the primary form; only the petitioner, applicant or their representative may file.
- Requesting premium processing for a benefit USCIS has not announced as available on its website, or for a benefit request reopened after a decision.
- Filing as an attorney or accredited representative without Form G-28 or G-28I when none is already in the case.
- Mailing printed pages from different form editions or with the edition date and page numbers cut off; USCIS may reject the form.
- Mailing the completed form to the Regulatory Coordination Division address in the Paperwork Reduction Act section, which is for comments only.
Frequently asked questions
What is Form I-907 used for?
Form I-907 requests Premium Processing Service from USCIS for certain petitions and applications: Form I-129, Form I-140, certain Form I-765 categories and certain Form I-539 classifications. USCIS then guarantees one of several actions within a set timeframe.
How long does premium processing take?
The timeframe is 15 days for most Form I-129 classifications and for many Form I-140 categories, 45 days for EB-1 (E13) and EB-2 (E21 NIW), and 30 days for Form I-539 and Form I-765 categories, when premium processing is available. A request for evidence or notice of intent to deny stops the clock.
Can I file Form I-907 after I already filed my petition?
Yes. You can file it with the benefit request or afterward, as long as USCIS has not made a final decision. For an upgrade, complete Part 2, Item Numbers 1. through 8., or USCIS rejects the form. You cannot use it for a reopened benefit request.
Who is not allowed to file Form I-907?
A beneficiary or co-applicant of the primary form may not file it. Only the petitioner or applicant, or their attorney or accredited representative, who filed the corresponding benefit request can request premium processing.
Do I get a refund if USCIS misses the timeframe?
Yes. USCIS refunds the Premium Processing Service fee if it takes no action in the applicable timeframe, and continues processing the case. USCIS may keep the fee if it opens an investigation for fraud or misrepresentation relating to the benefit request.
Where do I file Form I-907?
File online through a USCIS online account when the Forms Available to File Online page allows it, or by mail. The mailing address depends on whether the related form is I-129, I-140, I-765 or I-539; the USCIS I-907 page links to the right addresses.
Do I need Form G-28 with Form I-907?
Yes, if an attorney or accredited representative submits it, unless that representative has already filed Form G-28 in the case. A G-28 filed by a new attorney with Form I-907 replaces the earlier G-28 or G-28I.
Can I fill out Form I-907 online on FillingPDF?
You can fill out the PDF online on FillingPDF and download or print it. FillingPDF is an independent service and does not file Form I-907 with USCIS or accept fees; you submit it through the USCIS channels, and it needs a handwritten signature.
