USCIS has just announced that it has now resumed Premium Processing
services for R-1 Nonimmigrant Religious Worker petitioners. According
to USCIS petitioners who have successfully passed an on-site inspection
may request the premium processing service. USCIS defines “successful
completion of a site inspection” as an inspection conducted at the
employment location of the beneficiary which “has resulted in
satisfactory completion of such inspection.”
Petitioners are not required to submit proof of their eligibility to
USCIS to request premium processing of R-1 cases. Instead, USCIS will
conduct a search in its electronic systems for verification of the
successful completion of the site inspection upon receipt of the Form
I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, when it is submitted
with an R-1 petition.
