Form I-907: Request for USCIS Premium Processing Online or by Mail
The purpose of Form I-907 is to request USCIS premium processing for certain applications, such as I-765, I-129, I-140, and I-539. However, not all categories under I-765 & I-539 forms are eligible for premium processing.
Please refer to the following list of forms to determine which categories qualify for premium processing. You can also find the details here.
Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker,
Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers,
Certain categories (c(3)A, c(3)B, and c(3)C) of Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and
Certain categories of Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status.
If you are ineligible for USCIS premium processing, you may want to explore USCIS's expedited request option, which is based on humanitarian circumstances.

The initial step is to obtain the Form I-907 instructions, which can be downloaded from the USCIS website via the following link. Feel free to review the instructions, but there are a couple of key points I'd like to emphasize:
Remember to complete the form with a black pen or type in black.
Ensure you sign it with a handwritten signature.
When submitting payment, issue a separate check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Avoid using initials like 'USDHS' or 'DHS,' and do not send cash.
Fill Out Form I-907
I assume you've already downloaded the Form I-907 PDF from our previous discussion. If not, you can access it here. You will observe that Form I-907 consists of five parts.
I presume you are completing the form for your application. We will fill out only those fields that are necessary to process your I-907 form and keep our lives simple.
You can disregard the boxes and fields before Part 1; they are designated for USCIS use only unless you intend to file Form G-28, the 'Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative.' The G-28 form is utilized to convey your eligibility to represent an applicant, petitioner, or respondent.
Part 1. Information About the Person Filing This Request
Item # 1 to 2. If you possess an Alien Registration Number or USCIS Account Number, you may include them, but they are not mandatory.

Item # 4 If you know your company name, you can mention it; otherwise, you can leave it blank.
Item # 5 to 6 & 7. Simply provide your address details. I assume your mailing and physical addresses are the same. If they differ, complete Item # 7 with your physical address.
