The Biden administration on Tuesday is announcing three measures to reduce a growing multimillion-case backlog of immigration applications that has crippled the U.S. government's ability to process them in a timely fashion, a senior U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) official told CBS News.

The new measures
Among USCIS's new measures is a rule to expand "premium processing," which allows certain applicants to pay $2,500 in extra fees to have their cases reviewed on an expedited basis. Currently, the service is limited to certain applications, including H-1B petitions and some employment-based green card requests.

The rule, set to take effect in 60 days, will expand premium processing to additional employment-based green card applications, all work permit petitions and temporary immigration status extension requests, allowing applicants to pay $2,500 to have their cases adjudicated within 45 days.

Premium processing will expand gradually, starting with work-based green card petitions for multinational executives or managers and professionals with advanced degrees or "exceptional ability" who are requesting a waiver that allows them to immigrate to the U.S. without having a job offer, which is typically required.

Without a job offer? How does this even make sense?

it's for "Exceptional ability", usually for people with doctoral or master's degree with special skills or people who have exceptional skills like artist or Nobel laureate. I've seen people going through this and they have to provide a lot of evidence to prove.

Kind of like Melania’s “Einstein visa”.

Every John Doe has a masters degree in Asia. Many even have PHDs or can easily bribe universities and get certificates (yes, it still happens). I hope dems aren't opening a new can of worms.

This exceptional ability, aka National Interest Waiver, has been around since 1990... I'm surprised not many knows about this. I believe this is the only employment based visa that does not require company sponsorship.
