Can EB-1A and EB-1B have Premium Processing?

The EB-1 visa is an employment-based immigration category that covers individuals with extraordinary abilities (EB-1A) and outstanding researchers or professors (EB-1B), among others. One of the tools that USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) offers for petitions in this category is the Premium Processing service, which aims to expedite the response time.

Currently, both EB-1A and EB-1B can be processed through Premium Processing. This means that by opting for this method, the processing of Form I-140 (which is the petition for employment-based immigration) must be completed within 15 days, upon payment of an additional fee. This option can be very useful for those seeking a faster response regarding approval or the need for additional information in the petition.

It is important to emphasize that even when using Premium Processing, it is fundamental to comply with United States immigration laws and regulations. Considering the complexity of the processes and the existence of conflicting information on the internet, it is always advisable to seek information directly from official sources or specialized professionals. In this way, you avoid risks associated with unfounded promises, scams, and marketing campaigns that guarantee fast or miraculous results.

Always remember the importance of checking updates directly from USCIS, as policies may be reviewed periodically. If there are doubts about eligibility or procedures, consulting reliable sources is the best way to ensure that all steps are correctly followed.
