INS TO BEGIN PREMIUM PROCESSING PROGRAM THIS SUMMER

The INS has confirmed that it will begin premium processing on June 1, 2001. Sources say that the program will initially include all nonimmigrant visas except for H-1Bs, TNs and Rs. The premium processing fee will be ,000, for which the INS guarantees that the application will be processed within 15 calendar days, or at least that a request for evidence will be issued.

Sources also say that the INS will develop more efficient means of communication for these cases. There is also to be a way to convert applications filed before June 1 to premium processing.

The INS expects to extend the premium processing program to H-1B applications sometime in July or August, but says that it wants to develop and become familiar with the program before including what is expected to be a large number of H-1B applications.
