On August 18, 2006, USCIS announced that, beginning August 28, it will begin accepting premium processing requests for I-140 petitions involving EB-3 Professionals (i.e., immigrant workers with bachelors degrees who are members of the professions) and EB-3 Skilled Workers (i.e., immigrant workers capable of performing skilled labor requiring at least two years of education, training or experience). Premium processing will not be available to "other workers" in the EB-3 category for jobs that do not require two years of education, training or experience. 

USCIS issued a revised I-907 premium processing form which does not request any additional information but does include the newly designated classifications and a revision date of August 28, 2006. USCIS will not accept any premium processing requests for Form I-140 before August 28 and any premium processing requests for Form I-129 received before August 28 must use the current Form I-907 with the revision date of April 1, 2006. All premium processing requests received on or after August 28, 2006 will be rejected unless they are on the I-907 form bearing the August 28, 2006 revision date.
