Starting Monday, June 26, USCIS will resume premium processing for all H-1B petitions filed for medical doctors under the Conrad 30 Waiver program, as well as interested government agency waivers. As background, the Conrad 30 program allows certain medical doctors to stay in the United States on a temporary visa after completing their medical training to work in rural and urban areas that have shortage of physicians. Premium processing remains suspended for all other H-1B petitions. USCIS has stated that it plans to resume premium processing of other H-1B petitions as workloads permit.
