USCIS has announced that it will temporarily suspend Premium Processing for all H-1B petitions, beginning April 3, 2017. The suspension will apply to all H-1B petitions, including new H-1B cases filed under the FY18 H-1B cap, as well as extensions, amendments, and other cap-exempt petitions. According to USCIS, the temporary suspension is being implemented to help the agency reduce overall H-1B processing times, and it could last up to six months.
