There is no premium processing for fiance or spousal petitions. That only applies to I-129s for EMPLOYMENT based petitions.

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer

I think if it did apply to Fiancé/Spousal type visa's - we'd all be a $1000 poorer right now; sadly, that'd overtax the system too probably..

Along with being rather unfair, should those who can afford premium processing be together sooner over those who can't? You would basically create 2 classes of filers. There is expedited processing available for military service members who are about to be deployed. But thats it.
