Employers seeking foreign workers face proposed fees

January 9, 2023

According to bloomberglaw.com, U.S. businesses that use foreign workers are facing concern over proposed fee increases. USCIS has not updated its fees since 2016 but the proposed increases would be used for employment visa applications. The proposed fee increases could have a major impact on small businesses, nonprofits, and educational institutions that hire employees on H-1B visas or sponsor workers for green cards. USCIS is mainly funded by its application fees rather than appropriations and has stated that the increases are necessary for maintaining the agency’s operations at a time of increased migration to the U.S.
