Through a publication that the Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) made on its website, it was announced that Form I-140, Petition for Alien Immigrant Worker, filed with a request for priority processing, should no longer be sent to service centers. Starting this Monday, November 13, this procedure must be carried out through the organization’s secure locations.
The official communication specified that The modification applies only to the combination of forms I-140 and I-907 that are submitted simultaneously. In the event that a request for priority processing is made for a foreign immigrant worker petition that is already in progress, this change will not apply. The novelty will also not apply if the aforementioned combination includes a third form. The objective of the change, as explained by the entity, is to “increase efficiency by reducing the impact” on service centers to streamline procedures.
The change in the processing of the Uscis I-140 form
From this November 13th, Forms I-140 and I-907 filed together must be sent to secure USCIS locations and not to service centers, as was done until now. If they are sent to this last type of location, the procedure will be rejected.
In the same publication, the agency specified the new postal addresses to carry out the process according to the state or territory in which the applicant is located.
