H-1B shock continues: $100,000 fee extended through September 2027
The US has extended restrictions on the entry of certain H-1B workers until September 21, 2027. H-1B is a work visa for skilled foreign professionals. Covered petitions for beneficiaries outside the US generally need a $100,000 payment. So costs stay high for companies and workers planning US postings. Court challenges are still going on, so speak to your immigration advisor before you file.
