USCIS changed, on October 7, 2026, the filing location for Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service. Those who mail the form have a 30-day grace period: USCIS accepts forms postmarked by November 9, 2026, sent to any previous address. After that date, only the new address on the official page applies.
What happened?
In the notice on the I-907 page, USCIS states that "on Oct. 7, 2026, we changed the filing location for Form I-907" and that, for those filing by mail, the correct address now depends on the reason for the request (USCIS, Form I-907). The same change appears on the I-907 filing addresses page for Forms I-765 and I-539, updated on October 15, 2026 (USCIS, I-907 filing addresses for I-765 and I-539).
Form I-907 is the form used to request premium processing. According to USCIS, it is used to request faster processing of Form I-129, Form I-140, certain categories of Form I-765, and certain classifications of Form I-539 (USCIS, Form I-907).
What date matters?
The date is November 9, 2026. USCIS states that it provides "a 30-day grace period" and accepts forms postmarked by that date and sent to any previous address (USCIS, Form I-907). Those mailing after the 9th must use the new address.
How does USCIS organize the address now?
The address depends on which form receives premium processing. The I-907 page separates four cases (USCIS, Form I-907):
- Form I-129: the address is on the Form I-129 addresses page.
- Form I-140: the address is on the Form I-140 page.
- Form I-765 for an F-1 student on OPT or STEM OPT extension: the I-907 filing addresses page for I-765 and I-539 applies.
- Form I-539 with change of status to F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1, or J-2: the same I-907 filing addresses page for I-765 and I-539 applies.
On the specific page for I-765 and I-539, USCIS indicates the Chicago Lockbox for an I-907 filed for an already-pending OPT I-765, and the Chicago Lockbox, with a different P.O. box, when the I-907 is filed together with the I-765. For an already-pending I-539, the page distinguishes between Chicago, Dallas, and Phoenix depending on the state where the person lives; when the I-907 is filed together with the I-539, the distinction is between Phoenix and Elgin (USCIS, I-907 filing addresses for I-765 and I-539). The full addresses, including P.O. boxes and FedEx, UPS, and DHL delivery addresses, are only on the official page.
What does USCIS require on the form?
The I-907 page lists points that lead to rejection if not followed (USCIS, Form I-907):
- Signature: USCIS states that it rejects any form without a signature.
- Form edition: the current edition indicated on the page is 04/01/24, and all pages must be from the same edition.
- One I-907 per request: USCIS requires a single I-907 for each eligible form or classification, without including an I-907 for other cases in the same package.
- Name fields: if the company name field is left blank, USCIS requires completion of specific items for the petitioner's name and, on the I-129 and I-140, also for the beneficiary's name, without using "N/A" or "none."
The I-907 fee is listed in the USCIS fee schedule (G-1055). USCIS also states that the fee waiver rules under 8 CFR 106.3(a) do not provide a waiver for the I-907 (USCIS, How Do I Request Premium Processing).
What are the premium processing timeframes?
USCIS describes timeframes for taking action on the case, counted from receipt of a complete I-907 at the correct address (USCIS, How Do I Request Premium Processing):
- 15 business days for most classifications.
- 30 business days for Form I-765.
- 30 business days for Form I-539 with change to F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1, or J-2.
- 45 business days for Form I-140 in the E13 and E21 National Interest Waiver classifications.
This is why the address matters: USCIS states that the timeframe begins when it receives the form "at the correct filing address." For an I-129 filed together with an I-907, USCIS states that it rejects both if they are not sent to the correct location.
Who is affected?
The change applies to those filing Form I-907 on paper. USCIS also offers online filing of the I-907, and the Forms Available to File Online page shows when this is available. Those who requested premium processing for an OPT, as in the case of the OPT fees proposed by DHS, or for an F-1 student, as described in F-1 Visa: I-20, SEVIS Fee, and Application Steps, will find the address on the I-907 filing addresses page for I-765 and I-539.
What is the next date?
The next date is November 9, 2026, the last day for postmarking accepted at previous addresses. Before then, checking is simple: open the I-907 page, see which form receives premium processing, and compare the address with what is in the package.
