Details on Added Fees for Certain H1B and L-1 Petitions

January 25, 2016

As previously discussed on MurthyDotCom, the omnibus spending bill passed by Congress in December 2015 included provisions that increase an already hefty filing fee for H1B and L-1 petitions filed by companies that meet certain requirements. As of December 18, 2015 - the date the bill was signed into law - subject employers must pay the increased fee of $4,000 for all new H1B employees and $4,500 for all new L1A and L1B employees.

Employers Subject to Added Fees

Only companies with 50 employees or more in the United States, at least 50 percent of whom are in H1B or L-1 status, are subject to the new fee. If a company has fewer than 50 employees in the U.S., or if company's combined total of H1B and L-1 workers is less than 50 percent of its total U.S. workforce, the fee does not apply.

Fee Required Only for Initial Petition or Change of Employer

Subject employers do not need to include the $4,000 or $4,500 fee each time an H1B or L-1 petition is filed. Rather, an employer generally is required to pay the fee no more than once per employee. That is to say, a subject employer must include the fee for an initial petition to grant H1B or L-1 status to a foreign national. Or, if the foreign national is already working for a different company in H1B or L-1 status, the fee must be included with the H1B or L-1 petition requesting a change to a subject employer. The "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a news alert that provides more details on the new fee.

Conclusion

It is important for employers to properly assess filing fee requirements. As of February 11, 2016, petitions filed without the correct filing fees may be rejected outright. Until that date, the USCIS has indicated that it may issue a request for evidence (RFE) to determine whether the new fee is required.

New Law Increases H-1B and L-1 Petition Fees

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), signed into law by President Obama on December 18, 2015, increases fees for certain H-1B and L-1 petitioners. These petitioners must submit an additional fee of $4,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $4,500 for certain L-1A and L-1B petitions postmarked on or after December 18, 2015.

The additional fees apply to petitioners who employ 50 or more employees in the United States, with more than 50 percent of those employees in H-1B or L (including L-1A and L-1B) nonimmigrant status. These petitioners must submit the additional fees with an H-1B or L-1 petition filed:

• Initially to grant status to a nonimmigrant described in subparagraph (H)(i)(b) or (L) of section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act; or
• To obtain authorization for a nonimmigrant in such status to change employers.

This fee is in addition to the base processing fee, Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee, American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 fee (when required), as well as the premium processing fee, if applicable. Public Law 114-113 fees will remain effective through September 30, 2025.

USCIS is in the process of revising Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker and Form I-129S, Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition to reflect the provisions of Public Law 114-113. Petitioners should continue to complete Item Numbers 1.d. and1.d.1 of Section 1 of the H-1B and H-1B1 Data Collection and Filing Fee Exemption Supplement (Page 19 of Form I-129) and Item Numbers 4.a. and 4.b. of the L Classification Supplement (Page 22 of Form I-129).
