California Service Center To Stop Faxing Premium Processing Approval Notices

USCIS PRESS RELEASE

Effective December 1, 2006, the California Service Center (CSC) will no longer fax approval notices for
premium processing cases. Due to a significant increase in receipts and the time expended on faxing copies of
the notices, we are eliminating this step of the process. This change in process will increase efficiency and
allow our customers to receive notices in a more timely manner. The CSC will continue to fax all requests for
evidence relating to premium processing cases.
