U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is scheduled to increase I-129 and I-140 premium processing fees from US$1410 to US$1440. The increase, which is scheduled to take effect on December 2, 2019, reflects the full amount of inflation from the implementation of premium processing fees in June 2001 through August 2019. The agency’s last increase was on October 1, 2018 which increased premium processing from US$1225 to the current US$1410.

Premium processing is available for certain for certain authorized petitioners filing Forms I-129 Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker and I-140 Petition for Alien for Alien Workers. The optional service allows petitioners to request a 15-day processing of these forms which is paid in addition to the base filing fee and any applicable fees.

What Does A 214(b) Refusal Mean in U.S. Immigration Law?

A 214(b) refusal in U.S. immigration law refers to a specific section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) that is often cited when a U.S. consular officer denies a nonimmigrant visa application. This section is often seen with individuals applying for B-1/ B-2 Visitor Visas but it is applicable to all nonimmigrant visa categories such as F-1, E-1/E-2, and L-1, etc. What Is a 214(b) Refusal?

If you are applying for a U.S. immigrant visa, completing the online Form DS-260 is a major step in the immigration process once the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services approves your petition.
