USCIS announced on December 13, 2023, a change in the filing location for Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, for currently pending Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers. This change in filing location allows USCIS to centralize digitization of the forms for downstream electronic adjudication. This is being done in three phases.
Key Information
- USCIS previously announced that effective Nov. 13, 2023 (phase 1), the filing location for Form I-907 filed together with Form I-140 has changed from the service centers to the USCIS lockboxes.
- Starting on or after Dec. 13. 2023, USCIS will reject any Form I-907 filed with Form I-140 that is received at the previous service center address.
- For phase two, on Dec. 15, 2023, the filing location for Form I-907 requesting premium processing of a currently pending Form I-140, will change from the USCIS service centers to the USCIS Lockbox.
This change in filing location does not apply for individuals filing Form I-140 with an associated application (such as Form I-485, Form I-765, Form I-131). At this time, the lockboxes will reject any Form I-907 filed with a Form I-140 that has an associated Form I-485, Form I-131, or Form I-765.
USCIS will soon announce filing location changes for these forms, but at this time, they should continue to be filed with the service centers, as listed on the Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker page.
Where to File
Starting Dec. 15, 2023, the following addresses should be used when mailing Form I-907 to USCIS for a currently pending Form I-140. Starting on or after January 14, 2024, USCIS will reject any Form I-907 filed for a pending Form I-140 that is received at the previous service center address.
