DHS Proposal to Change H-1B Visa Fees Clears White House Review
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposal to change fees for H-1B visa petitions has cleared a key White House regulatory review, moving closer to publication. Details of the proposal remain undisclosed, leaving unclear which fees might change, who would be affected, or when changes could take effect. The proposal is separate from a previously announced $100,000 fee for certain foreign hires. The DHS will publish the proposal for public comment before finalizing any rule, amid ongoing efforts to revise the H-1B program.
