From USCIS on 12/13/23:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin transitioning the filing location for Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, when filed for a pending Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, from the service centers to appropriate USCIS lockboxes on Dec. 15.

This change in filing location does not apply if you are filing Form I-140 concurrently with an associated application (such as Form I-485, I-765, or Form I-131).

We will soon announce a filing location change for these forms, but at this time, such forms should be filed with the service centers, as listed on the Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker page.

In addition, we remind filers to follow the guidance on submission of documents to USCIS to reduce processing delays. See Tips for Filing Forms by Mail.

USCIS previously announced that effective Nov. 13, 2023, the filing location for Form I-907 filed together with Form I-140 has changed from the service centers to the USCIS lockbox (phase 1).

As a reminder, starting on or after Dec 13, 2023, USCIS will reject any Form I-907 filed with Form I-140 that is received at the previous service center address.
