USCIS Form I-539 Changes and New Fees
UPDATE: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) indicated that due to the new biometrics fee required, USCIS would no longer provide for "courtesy" Premium Processing of L-2 and H-4 petitions for the spouses and dependent family members of L-1A/L-1B/H-1B visaholders. Accordingly, processing of Form I-539 Applications will take substantially longer to process than the principal Form I-129 Petition. At this time, USCIS has not provided any further guidance or insight as to processing times of Form I-539 applications. As additional details become available regarding the above, we will provide regular updates.

UPDATE: On March 1, 2019, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) indicated that it would publish a revised Form I-539/Form I-539A on March 8, 2019.
