As we mentioned in our prior post, on September 30, 2020, Congress passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through December 11, 2020, and the president signed it into law. The continuing resolution contains certain changes to USCIS’s Premium Processing Service or “PPS,” including raising the filing fee, and making PPS available to new categories such as EB-1Cs, NIWs, I-539s, and EADs. On October 16, 2020, USCIS announced that any Premium Processing Service requests received on or after October 19, 2020, must be filed with a $2,500 fee. No new additional categories were designated as PPS-eligible.
