US proposes higher H-1B visa filing fees: What companies may pay

The Department of Homeland Security has announced a proposal for a new fee of $103,265 for H-1B visa petitions, aimed at funding immigration system costs across various agencies. This fee specifically targets cap-subject applications, saving universities and research institutions from its impact. Notably, it is distinct from a previously invalidated proclamation payment. Currently, public commentary on this proposal is being encouraged.
