Congress To Increase H1B Filing Fee By $4000 & L-1 Filing Fee By $4500

Maa Attorney email chesadu..

 

Earlier today, Congress  released a bill to dramatically increase H-1B and L-1 government filing fees. The section regarding H-1B and L-1  fees  is only a small part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 bill which is required to prevent a Government shutdown.  The  2009 page bill will be voted  on later this week.   The bill is expected to be passed.    

 

Below are the key points:

1. The fee increase is applicable only  for companies that have more than 50 employees and more than 50 percent of the employees are on H1B or L1 status.
2. The fee increase will be an additional $4000 for H-1B cases and $4500 for L-1 cases. 
3. The fee is applicable for all initial filings and extension of stay cases. 
4. The fee increase is effective from the enactment of the law until September 30, 2025. 

The purpose of the funds is to implement the biometric entry and exit system from the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. 

 

Similar legislation was previously enacted in 2010 which required an additional $2000 filing fee for such companies.  However the filing fee was not applicable for extensions and expired on September 20, 2015.
