The proposed increase in H-1B visa application fees in the US has been delayed until April 2024, offering relief to visa holders and their employers. Originally set for this month, the fee hike, which included a 70% rise to $780, will now be implemented later. This delay allows US employers in the tech industry, heavily reliant on H-1B visas, to prepare for potential increases. Though specifics of the revised fee structure are unclear, experts anticipate minor adjustments.
Individuals seeking US citizenship or a green card are advised to consider early filing. Proposed changes for the EB-5 program are also on hold, providing temporary reprieve for affected individuals and businesses. Stay informed for future developments.
