P-1 and O-1 Premium processing to resume on applications submitted before June 8, 2020. 

This week, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that it will slowly resume processing premium processing applications for non-immigrant workers under form I-129. Athletes, Coaches, and Entertainers typically fall under the P-1 and O-1 categories which are both I-129 employment based visa applications. We are reaching out to stakeholders to spread awareness of the opportunity to take advantage of premium processing. Premium processing is an additional $1440 government fee that provides the following advantages over regular processing

  • USCIS must respond to petitions with in 15 calendar days or return the premium processing fee

  • USCIS must make themselves available over email for notices and questions about the case

  • USCIS provides a special phone line for premium processing cases that attorneys can access to speak directly with USCIS staff

To take advantage of premium processing, we are offering free consultations on Sunday May 30th and Monday June 1st for clients interested in having a case submitted before June 8th. These consultations are on a first come first serve basis as time permits. 

To request a consultation, please call us at 310-209-8545 or email us at info@oaklg.com with the subject line June 8th. 

Preference for appointments will go to individuals that fill out candidate forms so we can evaluate eligibility before the call
