USCIS Announcement
Premium Processing is available for F-1 Students who have already submitted their application for OPT or OPT STEM Extension (application is not yet approved)
The option to pay for premium processing is available to F-1 students who have already filed a Form I-765 for Optional Practical Training (OPT) or OPT STEM Extension. Complete the Form I-907 and pay the fee for this service through USCIS.
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 Extension.
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.
