The immigrant applicant can choose either I-140 regular processing ($715) or premium processing (Additional $2,805). The premium processing guarantees faster response (15 days) from USCIS whereas the regular processing will take up to more than 6 months to be processed. Processing time varies time to time and is solely up to the U.S Government.

    • Once I-140 Application is approved and one’s priority date (presented in the I-140 approval notice) becomes current, the petition will move to the Department of State (DOS) and National Visa Center (NVC) will issue a Visa Fee Invoice to the applicant. Then, the applicant can pay the visa fees through online and start online DS-260 application (Personal information, Family Information, U.S entry history, Work/Employment History etc).
