USCIS Announcement
Future Expansion of Premium Processing for F-1 Students Seeking OPT and Certain Student and Exchange Visitors
Beginning in March 2023, the option to pay for premium processing will be available for F-1 students who have already filed a Form I-765 for Optional Practical Training (OPT) or STEM OPT Extensions.
Beginning in April 2023, the option to pay for premium processing will be available for F-1 students who are filing an initial Form I-765 for Optional Practical Training (OPT) or STEM OPT Extensions.
USCIS plans to expand premium processing to Form I-539, which is used to change from one visa status to another in the US. This will be useful for students wishing to switch from a visa status that does not allow study and/or work to a visa status that does, such as F-2 to F-1.
