India, Oct. 15 -- The Trump administration is considering changes to the timelines for premium processing of immigration applications, a move that could affect foreign workers, international students and employers who pay extra fees to expedite cases.

A proposed regulation is currently under review at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The proposal could lengthen the existing premium processing timeframes, although its specific provisions have not yet been made public.

The proposed changes have not taken effect. The regulation must clear federal review before being published in the Federal Register for public comments, after which the government would have to finalize the rule before implementing any changes.
