Fill out Form I-907 (Request for Premium Processing Service) - Step by Step Guide

Important Reminder

Before you start any form, always check its expiration date. The latest version of Form I-907 expires on February 28, 2027, so make sure you have the right one.

Where to File Your Premium Processing Request

The location to file your Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, depends on which form you’re seeking premium processing for, whether it’s Form I-129, Form I-140, Form I-765, or Form I-539.

For Form I-129
If you’re applying for premium processing with your Form I-129, be sure to visit our dedicated Form I-129 page to get the exact filing address.

For Form I-140
If you’re requesting premium processing for your Form I-140, head over to our Form I-140 page where you’ll find the specific address you need.

For Form I-765 (F-1 Students & STEM OPT Extensions)

Are you an F-1 student applying for OPT or a STEM OPT extension? If so, and you’re seeking premium processing for your Form I-765, you have a couple of options! You can submit your Form I-907 online through myUSCIS or mail in a paper form. For the right filing location, visit our Direct Filing Addresses page for Form I-907, specifically for Form I-765 and Form I-539.

Important Note for Representatives
If you’ve previously filed a Form G-28 for your Form I-765, please note that you’ll need to file a new Form G-28 when submitting your Form I-907 online for premium processing. If you prefer not to file a second G-28 online, you can submit both your premium processing request and Form G-28 via the appropriate lockbox.

For Form I-539 (Change of Status)
If you’re requesting premium processing for a Form I-539 (for change of status to F-1, M-1, or J-1 classifications), you can either file your Form I-907 online or mail a paper form. Be sure to check our Direct Filing Addresses page to find the proper location for your filing.

Important Details for Check Payments
If you choose to pay by check, make sure it’s payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Non-Refundable Fees
When you make a payment, you’re agreeing to pay for a government service.

For added convenience, use our Fee Calculator to help determine your exact fee.

Paying for Multiple Forms
If you’re submitting multiple forms, make sure to pay the filing fee for each form separately. We are in the process of transitioning to electronic processing for immigration benefit requests, and using multiple systems for your package means we can’t accept a single combined payment for multiple forms. Submitting a combined payment may result in your entire package being rejected.

Step-by-Step Guide to Filing Form I-907

Part 1: Basic Information

• Top section: This section is for USCIS use only. Leave it blank.
• Attorney Information: If you’re using an attorney, this is where they’ll fill out their details. If not, you can skip it.
• Personal Information: Begin where it says, “Start here.” Remember to type or print your information using black ink.

Tip: While you can type or print, avoid making corrections to pre-printed information. Just keep it neat and accurate.

• Alien Registration Number (A-Number): This will be required if you’re filing for premium processing along with one of the following forms: I-129, I-539, I-765, or I-140. If you’re filing these forms at the same time, you may not have your A-number yet. But if you’ve already received your I-797, you’ll use that receipt number.

Part 2: Information About Your Request

• If you’re filing the I-140 petition along with the I-907 request for premium processing, this part will be filled out based on your specific case.
• Don’t forget to include your receipt number if you’ve already received your I-797 approval notice. If you’re submitting both forms together, leave the receipt number blank.

Part 3: Signature and Declaration

• Carefully read the instructions in the form, particularly the section about penalties for providing false information.
• When completing the Request Statement, check Box A if you understand English and can answer the questions yourself. If someone helped prepare or interpret the form for you, you’ll select the appropriate options here.
