Possibility of I-140 Premium Process before J-1 waiver
Hi!
I am on J-1 (waiver pending with DoS from last five months) and filed I-140 the previous week. Will my waiver hamper if I go for the I-140 'Premium Process' (PP)? I know a waiver is not required for filing I-140, but if I go for PP now, will USCIS give me a waiver or not?
Let me know if anyone has gone through this situation earlier.

waiver has nothing to do with i140

thank you for the reply. Since, I still don't have a waiver in my hand, does filing I140 PP will be an issue to get my waiver certificate from USCIS?

J1 Waiver you will need from your home country

I took it from home country. The waiver is in final stage and is with DoS now. The final waiver issuing authority is USCIS, so I am little concern if my I140 PP can conflict with the waiver..

aha! No, it is fine, I have many friends whose waiveris with DoS and they got their i140 approved with pp
