Effective March 1, 2026, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will increase premium processing fees for various immigration benefits, including H-1B visas, Form I-140, and student applications. These adjustments, mandated by the USCIS Stabilization Act, aim to account for inflation between June 2023 and June 2025. The increased revenue is intended to support agency operations, improve adjudication processes, and address processing backlogs. Standard visa filing fees remain unchanged.
