White House Review of Proposed USCIS Fees Complete

The White House approved a proposal to increase fees for various U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) filings. This comes after the federal review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) request. This was the final step before the information is officially released. The details are expected in the next few days.

The changes will affect fees for various filings, including:

  • H-1B cap registration,
  • H-1B filing,
  • L-1 filing,
  • Other nonimmigrant cases,
  • Forms I-129 and I-140,
  • Premium processing timelines, and
  • Adjustment of Status, along with additional benefit fees, will also be updated.

Overall, fees are expected to go up, with some seeing significant increases. The exact fees and details of the changes are not yet published.
