US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that the agency will increase fees for the premium processing service effective this coming Monday, October 19, 2020. For all cases currently eligible for premium processing, the fee will be increased from $1,440 to $2,500, except those requesting H-2B or R-1 nonimmigrant status. The premium processing fee for petitioners requesting H-2B or R-1 nonimmigrant status is increasing from $1,440 to $1,500.

Any premium processing request postmarked on or after October 19, 2020 must include the new fee amount. If USCIS receives a Form I-907 postmarked on or after October 19 with the incorrect filing fee, the agency will reject the Form I-907 and return the filing fee.
