After a long wait time, USCIS finally announced that they will resume the premium processing in phases for certain petitions including form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, and form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers.

When Will USCIS Resume Premium Processing?

Here's a summary list of tentative dates when USCIS will start accepting premium processing requests:

• June 1st I-140 petitions
• June 8th 
• H-1B petitions that are cap-exempt
• All other form I-129 for nonimmigrant classifications 
• June 15th H-1B petitions that filed an I-907 concurrently with I-129 before June 8th and are cap-exempt because the employer is cap-exempt or the beneficiary is cap-exempt based on a waiver
• June 22nd all other form I-129 petitions, including
• All H-1B cap-subject petitions
• All other form I-129 petitions for nonimmigrant classifications that filed an I-907 concurrently with I-129

These dates are still subject to change depends on how many cases USCIS is handling. See more details on USCIS's website.
