Help me!

The Murthy Law firm reported in their Bulletin today that I-140 premium processing is likely to be restored soon by the end of summer for $1000 per application.

You would never know whats circulated inside USCIS, but he is a peak to what the those memos might be.

Ok that title has nothing to do with this post, that was just to get you excited on this dull Thursday morning. You probably checked your email in the hope that your attorney sent you a positive email about your immigration application. Then you checked your Processing dates page to see if anything changed on [...]
