Who Is Affected

 The expanded temporary suspension applies to all H-1B petitions filed at the Vermont and California Service Centers (excluding cap-exempt filings as noted below).

The previously announced suspension of premium processing for fiscal year 2019 cap-subject H-1B petitions was originally slated to last until Sept. 10, 2018, but that suspension is being extended through an estimated date of Feb. 19, 2019.

We will continue premium processing of Form I-129 H-1B petitions that are not currently suspended if the petitioner properly filed an associated Form I-907 before Sept. 11, 2018. Therefore, we will refund the premium processing fee if:

• The petitioner filed the Form I-907 for an H-1B petition before Sept. 11, 2018; and
• We did not take adjudicative action on the case within the 15-calendar-day processing period.

Premium Processing Remains Available for Certain H-1B Petitions

The suspension does not apply to:

1. Cap-exempt petitions that are filed exclusively at the California Service Center because the employer is cap exempt or because the beneficiary will be employed at a qualifying cap exempt institution, entity, or organization; or
2. Those petitions filed exclusively at the Nebraska Service Center by an employer requesting a “Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer” (Box b. on Part 2, Question 2, Page 2 of the current Form I-129) with a concurrent request to:
   1. Notify the office in Part 4 so each beneficiary can obtain a visa or be admitted. (Box on Part 2, Question 4, Page 2 of the current Form I-129); or
   2. Extend the stay of each beneficiary because the beneficiary now holds this status. (Box c. on Part 2, Question 4, Page 2 of the current Form I-129).

This temporary suspension of premium processing does not apply to any other nonimmigrant classifications filed on Form I-129.

USCIS Strikes Again! USCIS Extends and Expands Premium Processing Suspension for H-1B Petitions

 

Today USCIS announced its plan to extend the current temporary suspension of premium processing for cap-subject H-1B petitions, which initially went into effect on April 02, 2018. Further, beginning September 11, 2018, USCIS will expand this suspension to include certain additional H-1B petitions. These suspensions are expected to last until February 19, 2019. 

What types of cases are impacted?

H-1B Cap-Subject Petitions: 

The previously announced suspension of premium processing for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 2019) cap cases was originally expected to last until September 10, 2018, but that suspension is being extended through an estimated date of February 19, 2019.

H-1B Transfers and Amendments:  

The expanded temporary suspension will take effect on September 11, 2018 and applies to all H-1B petitions filed at the Vermont Service Center and California Service Center (excluding cap-exempt filings as discussed below). This means that Premium Processing for transfers and amendments will be subject to the suspension. USCIS will continue to process premium processing requests if the petitioner properly files Form I-907 before September 11, 2018 with an associated H-1B Petition.

What types of cases are in the clear?

The suspensions do not apply to:

1. Cap-exempt H-1B petitions that are filed exclusively at the California Service Center because the employer is cap exempt or because the beneficiary will be employed at a qualifying cap exempt institution, entity, or organization – This only covers a small portion of employers; or
2. Those H-B petitions filed exclusively at the Nebraska Service Center by an employer requesting a “Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer”. Basically this covers only those petitioners filing H-1B extensions without any change. 

This temporary suspension of premium processing does not apply to any other nonimmigrant classifications filed on Form I-129.

My fear is that USCIS will receive an influx of premium processing requests prior to September 11th and will not be able to adjudicate the H-1B petition within 15 calendar days. This will prompt USCIS to issue a refund of the premium processing fee and kick the case into regular processing anyway. If any other information is provided, I will update you immediately.

Transfers or amendments don't go to Nebraska. Nebraska is only for extension at the same employer or same client. Transfers or amendments go to California or Vermont depending on your employer location. California and Vermont were accepting premium processing cases for transfers or amendments before but now they have shanked it Till Feb 2019. So feb 2019 varaku no job mobility anna mata..

Extension cases still no problem, premium is allowed.

New H1 cases or Transfers or amendments - no premium CAP or No-CAP.

Previously they suspended premium only for CAP cases, now thy are expanding it to Non CAP petitions also. Anyone looking to change to different employer(H1 Transfer), do an amendment now only has to file through regular processing. No premium processing.

Basic gaa job changes biscuit. Same project, same client or same FT job aite PP allowed. Rest all of the cases PP biscuited.

For H1-B Transfer + Extension also No Premium after Sep 11 ?
