What petitions and applications are part of the Premium Processing Service?
At this time, INS has designated only the Form I-129, (Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker), for Premium Processing. Classifications within the Form I-129 eligible for Premium Processing are:
␣ E-1 Treaty Trader;
␣ E-2 Treaty Investor;
␣ H-2A Agricultural Worker
␣ H-2B Temporary Worker
␣ H-3 Trainee
␣ L-1 Intra-company Transferees
␣ O-1 and O-2 Aliens of Extraordinary Ability or Achievement
␣ P-1, P-2 and P-3 Athletes and Entertainers; and
␣ Q-1 International Cultural Exchange Aliens.
On July 30, 2001, INS will add the following categories to the Premium Processing program:
␣ H-1B Temporary Workers in Specialty Occupations;
␣ R-1 Temporary Workers in Religious Occupations; and
␣ TN NAFTA Professionals.
INS will continue to review the program and assess its ability to incorporate other employment -based petitions and applications into the program.
So for now, there is NO premium processing for J1 visas
