New Delhi, Jun 15 (LAB) The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has recently made an exciting announcement that’s bound to make waves in the immigration sector. Beginning June 13, 2023, the USCIS is expanding its premium processing services to include applicants filing Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status. This change is especially pertinent for individuals seeking to change their status to F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1, or J-2 nonimmigrant status.
