USCIS PREMIUM PROCESSING FEES TO INCREASE ON FEBRUARY 26, 2024 |
Premium processing allows petitioners to pay an additional filing fee to expedite the adjudication of certain forms, generally within 15 days.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it will increase premium processing fees charged by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to reflect the amount of inflation from June 2021 through June 2023 according to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
The new fees will take effect for filings postmarked on or after February 26.
Under a separate rule, starting April 1, premium processing adjudication timeframes will change from calendar days to business days, effectively increasing processing times by one week or more, depending on the case type.
