Premium Processing Resumed for Certain Exempt H-1B Petitions

USCIS announced on 07/24/2017 that premium processing services will be resumed for some CAP exempt H-1B petitions if the H-1B petitioner is:

* An institution of higher education;
* A nonprofit related to or affiliated with an institution of higher education; or
* A nonprofit research or governmental research organization.

Premium processing will also be resumed for petitions that may also be exempt if the beneficiary will be employed at a qualifying cap-exempt institution, organization or entity.

USCIS suspended premium processing services for all H-1B petitions early this year for six months starting 04/03/2017.
