H1-B Visa Fee Increase Stricken From Bill
Fortunately, House and Senate conferees struck a proposed H1-B visa fee increase from a conference report that is scheduled to be made public on November 5. House and Senate appropriators took this welcome action when they met to combine the Defense, Military Construction-VA, and Labor-HHS-Education appropriations into one single bill.
The fee increase had been proposed by Senator Charles Grassley and would have increased H1-B application fees by an additional $3,500.00 on top of the already too-high fees charged to U.S. employers who file the I-129 H1-B application.
