The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) expanded their premium processing services in order to provide applicants with a faster and more efficient experience when filing Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, for a change of status to F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1, or J-2 nonimmigrant status. But that’s not all. USCIS has also introduced an online filing option for Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, making the process even more accessible and convenient for applicants.
To take advantage of online filing for Form I-907, applicants will need to create a USCIS online account. This account offers a secure and convenient method to submit forms, make payments, and track the status of any pending USCIS immigration request. Setting up a USCIS online account is free of charge and comes with various features, including the ability to communicate securely with USCIS through an inbox and respond to Requests for Evidence online.
This incredible enhancement to the premium processing services is great news for applicants seeking a change of status to F, M, or J nonimmigrant categories. The USCIS is really stepping up their game in streamlining the process and embracing technological advancements to make the immigration system even better.
