How to File Form I-907 Online: Step-by-Step Premium Processing Guide (2026)

Before You Start: You Need Your I-140 Receipt Number

You can only add premium processing after your I-140 has been filed and you have its receipt number — a 13-character number that starts with IOE (e.g. IOE0123456789). It appears in your myUSCIS account about 2–3 business days after you file the I-140.

If you haven't filed the I-140 yet, start with How to File I-140 Online. The I-907 is always a separate online submission filed after the I-140.

Fee: $2,965. Premium clock: USCIS commits to act within 15 business days (EB1A) or 45 business days (EB2 NIW). See Premium Processing Strategy for whether it's worth it.

Step-by-Step

1. Fill out Form I-907 (in Adobe)

Open Form I-907 in Adobe Acrobat/Reader and fill it out — see our field-by-field I-907 Form Guide for every box. The key field: enter your I-140 receipt number (the IOE… number) in Part 2, Item 2 — this is what links your premium-processing request to your pending petition. Then sign the form: insert an electronic signature, or print, hand-sign, and scan it back in (a typed signature is not accepted).

2. Start the I-907 online

From your dashboard, choose File a Form Online, then select I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service.

Choose "I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service."

3. Choose "Upload a Filled Out PDF Form"

USCIS gives you two options — fill the fields online, or upload your completed PDF. Choose Upload a Filled Out PDF Form so you can submit the I-907 you filled and signed in Step 1.

Pick "Upload a Filled Out PDF Form."

The next screen confirms which forms qualify for premium processing and the processing times; USCIS calculates the $2,965 fee for you automatically.

Premium processing covers I-140 (15 business days for EB1A, 45 for EB2 NIW); the fee is calculated for you.

4. Upload your signed I-907 PDF

Upload your completed, signed I-907 — all pages, in order.

Upload all pages of your signed I-907 as a single PDF.

File rules: PDF only, 12 MB maximum, not encrypted or password-protected.

5. Pay $2,965

When you reach the payment step, the system takes you straight to the payment page. You must pay with a debit card (credit cards are often declined on large government charges).

⚠️ The USCIS online system can be unstable. If you get an error while submitting or paying, don't assume it failed — wait a moment, then try again a few times. Check your dashboard and email before re-paying so you don't double-submit.

Once the I-907 is accepted, the premium-processing clock starts and USCIS will act within 15 business days (EB1A) or 45 business days (EB2 NIW).
