USCIS has updated its processing times for immigration petitions, revealing that EB-1A extraordinary ability petitions can receive a decision in just 15 business days with premium processing. In contrast, EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petitions are subject to a longer processing time of 45 days. This change, effective immediately, highlights the differing timelines for these two types of petitions despite their similar premium processing fees.
Key Details:
- EB-1A petitions: Decision in 15 business days with premium processing.
- EB-2 NIW petitions: Decision in 45 business days with premium processing.
- Both petition types have the same premium processing fee.
- A decision does not guarantee approval; it may include Requests for Evidence (RFEs).
These updates are significant for immigrants seeking expedited processing of their petitions, allowing for faster decision-making in certain cases. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
