Hi,

I applied regular and do not have the Receipt no. as yet and the employer is insisting I start working.

I want to upgrade to premium... can it be done befor getting Receipt no???

Thanks,

You can file premium processing as long as the petition is pending.
Receipt # helps USCIS locate the petition quickly but not a requirement.

Please note, however, that technically speaking, only your employer (petitioner) or its attorney can file premium processing. So you need their cooperation to file a request with USCIS.
