New law increases fees for L-1 and H-1B petitioners

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), signed into law by President Obama on December 18, 2015, increases fees for certain H-1B and L-1 petitioners. Petitioners who employ 50 or more employees in the United States, with more than 50 percent of those employees in H-1B or L (including L-1A and L-1B) nonimmigrant status. These petitioners must submit an additional fee of $4,000 for H-1B petitions and $4,500 for L-1A and L-1B petitions postmarked on or after December 18, 2015.
