As I recall USCIS suspends premium processing during March/April to be able to process new H1B applications and lottery. Does this happen every year? Is it rule? #h1b
No such rule, dint happen in 2019 though
Did they suspended premium this year too? Last year they opened premium processing at end!
They have suspended premium processing as and when they felt they didn’t have enough manpower to process surge in applications. I assume they have hired enough by now to handle such scenarios.
That’s a big relief guys! Thank you for information.
Just in- Premium processing stopped till June 27 for all H1B transfers Update: New applications impacted. Not transfers, extensions and amendments.
Is it just for transfers? Or new H1 petitions as well?
F1 change of status PP will begin no later than May 27
I think it's suspended only for new filing.. transfer is fine
Yes...premium processing is suspended only for cap-applicable 2021 H1Bs
Premium processing is suspended for every visa not just h1b, leave alone cap-applicable. Even i140 can’t be done in PP.
This was update on March17. Later on March19, new directive came to force suspension of all I-129 and I-140 applications due to Covid-19.
Did you get a reply?
No , its not the rule
