On May 26, 2015, USCIS temporarily suspended premium processing for all H-1B extension of stay petitions. This suspension will remain in place until July 27, 2015. During this period, petitioners will not be able to file Form I-907, the Request for Premium Processing Service for a Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, requesting an extension of stay.

USCIS will, however, continue to process all premium processing requests submitted prior to May 26, 2015. Premium processing fees will be refunded if the petition filed their H-1B petition prior to May 26 using the premium processing service and USCIS did not act on the case within the 15-day period.
