Hello, this is the Immigration Team of Song Law Firm .
The USCIS announced a new and changed policy for Premium Processing on January 12th , and it will be implemented from today , January 30th.
The change with this announcement is that premium processing is available for the E13 (EB-1C) Multinational Executives & Managers category and E21 NIW (EB-2 NIW). These two categories were previously not eligible for premium processing, but since last year, premium processing has been applied only to petitions submitted before a specific date . This expedited process, called Premium Processing, previously provided results within 15 days for eligible petitions. However , the newly revised policy announced that new petitions in both categories can also apply for this expedited procedure, provided that the results can be received within 45 days .
In the law enacted during the Trump administration in 2020, it is already stated that premium processing for NIW is possible, while the timing of execution of this is left to the discretion of the Immigration Bureau . Currently , about a year has passed from the filing of the NIW petition to receiving the result, which is good news for those who are thinking of immigrating to the United States without an employer through the NIW.
The application fee for this E13 (EB-1C) multinational executives and managers category and the E21 NIW (EB-2 NIW) expedited procedure is $2,500 , which is the same as the previous expedited procedure category, and only the period until the result is received is the existing expedited procedure There is a difference of 45 days, while this possible category was 15 days.
E13 (EB-1C) is an immigrant visa category for employers in the United States to hire foreign managers and executive-level entrepreneurs . And EB-2 NIW is a National Interest Waiver. Unlike other immigrant visas, only foreigners who can help the national interest of the United States can apply for a special permanent residency visa without an employer’s sponsorship or job offer. Since this NIW does not have an employer unlike other employment, immigration, and permanent residency visas, the petitioner must prove that the field of study is of substantial value to the U.S. national interest and is important in the United States, and that the applicant is qualified for the development of the field. , so it must be demonstrated that waiving sponsorship serves the national interest of the United States.
In fact, it is quite difficult for individuals to proceed with these two categories of employment immigrant visas as they have to prepare documents according to the standards required by the Immigration Department in accordance with the corresponding process. When it comes to visa procedures for these specialties, it is important to find a lawyer who is experienced in approvals and communicates well. Song Law Firm’s Immigration Team prioritizes communication with clients in all cases, and has incomparable experience and approval experience in employment immigration cases . Also, from these many experiences, I am quickly in touch with the latest visa or immigration trends, and I am also quickly reading and accepting the latest trends in immigration.
