How many times can I use Premium Processing?

It is important to know that Premium Processing is an optional tool offered by USCIS to expedite the review of petitions, including the H-1B visa.

Generally, each petition that you or your employer submit can have the Premium Processing service requested once, provided that the petition meets the criteria and is eligible for this expedited option.

If you are filing a new petition – whether it is a first request, renewal, or change of status – it is possible to request Premium Processing again, always together with the corresponding application. On the other hand, regarding the same petition, it is not possible to ”stack” or request the service more than once. In other words, each individual case must have its own request if you choose to expedite the process.

It is worth emphasizing that the rules and criteria for the use of Premium Processing may change, so it is essential that you follow updates directly through USCIS official channels or through specialized consulting. This way, you avoid surprises and ensure that all legal requirements are being met.

Furthermore, it is always wise to be cautious with promises of miraculous results or solutions that deviate from the established procedures by the United States government. Following immigration laws and seeking information from reliable sources is essential for the smooth progress of your case.
