Premium Processing

USCIS offers 15 day expedited processing for a fee. H, E, L, O, P, R and TN temporary petitions are eligible and most employment based petitions, but not multinational managers and executives, nor national interest waivers. 

Premium processing is a highly useful program for some petitioners.  For example, the H-1B portability regulations allow H-1B workers to change employers and begin working with the new employer when USCIS receives the new employer's H-1B petition and before it is approved.  This benefit makes premium processing unnecessary for most petitioners seeking an H-1B change of employer.
