Title: Establishing Premium Processing Service for Employment-Based Petitions and Applications 
Abstract: This interim rule changes the premium processing time from 15 calendar days to 15 business days and adds additional circumstances that will stop the premium processing clock. This rule also clarifies that for e-filed petitions and applications, the 15-business-day processing period begins when U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services receives the initial required supporting documentation to adjudicate the case at the Service Center with jurisdiction over that case. This interim rule also addresses public comments received in connection with the first interim rule.
