Premium processing is a faster processing service for certain types of cases. By paying an additional $1000 to the Immigration Service, applicants can get their cases processed within 15 days. USCIS originally suspended premium processing for religious worker cases since it could no longer guarantee a 15 day turnaround as a result of extensive background checks and the time it takes to process them.
As more information becomes available, we will post it here at www.bashyamspiro.com.
