I-140 Premium Processing : First Case Approved in One Day! Posted Sep 15, 2006 ©MurthyDotCom As regular readers of MurthyDotCom and the MurthyBulletin know, the USCIS recently instituted premium processing for EB3 I-140 petitions. The program became effective August 28, 2006. We are pleased to report that the Murthy Law Firm received its first I-140 petition approval from the USCIS almost immediately after the program began. Our first I-140 premium processing case was received by the USCIS on August 30, 2006. It was approved only one day later; on August 31, 2006! ©MurthyDotCom Those who are unfamiliar with I-140 premium processing, may find it helpful to read our earlier MurthyBulletin articles, Detailed Analysis of Premium Processing for I-140s, Part 1 (Jul, 28, 2006) and Part 2 (Aug, 04 2006), both available on MurthyDotCom. ©MurthyDotCom It is doubtful that one-day-turn-around time will be the norm, as I-140 premium processing becomes more widespread and is used by greater numbers of employers and employees. One should not assume that his or her case will receive an approval within such a short timeframe. It is encouraging, however, that the system is operational and has begun so efficiently.
