USCIS announced on 5/17 that beginning on Friday, May 18, 2007, it will terminate Premium Processing Service for Form I-140 petitions that request labor certification substitution. USCIS anticipates a substantial increase in the number of petitioning employers that will file Form I-140 petitions requesting Premium Processing Service and seeking labor certification substitution prior to July 16, 2007. Today, USCIS published the new regulations regarding Labor Certification, which prohibits the practice of substituting beneficiaries in labor certification cases starting form July 16, 2007. Due to the volume of Form I-140 petitions that request labor certification substitution that USCIS anticipates will be filed prior to July 16, 2007 (the date upon which labor certification substitution will no longer be available to Form I-140 petitioning employers), USCIS can not reasonably ensure this level of processing service for Form I-140 petitions that request labor certification substitution within 15 calendar days.
