H-1B visas and immigration in 2022
January 4, 2022
The Biden administration’s regulatory agenda for 2022 includes several H-1B rules. DHS plans to publish a regulation on “Modernizing H-1B Requirements and Oversight and Providing Flexibility in the F-1 Program.” In 2022, there are at least three fee rules expected. A USCIS “fee schedule” rule will likely result in the agency raising various fees. A second rule would implement legislation allowing USCIS to offer premium processing for Form I-539 to change or extend status. The State Department has proposed a rule to increase fees for workers, travelers, international students, and exchange visitors for this year.
