Employers seeking foreign workers face proposed fees
January 13, 2023
Increased fees raised concern among U.S. businesses that use foreign workers. 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.
