Consolidated Appropriations Act 2016

Apart from the new fee imposed under the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2016, the Congress has added a series of other fee onto the H-1B visa application over the past decade.

Almost all Indian IT companies would pay between USD 8,000 and USD 10,000 per H-1B visa from April 1 when the next annual H-1B visa filing session starts, thus making it quite unsustainable economically for them.

US President Barack Obama today signed into law a USD 1.8 trillion spending package which among other things introduces a hefty USD 4,000 fee for certain categories of H-1B visa and USD 4,500 for L1 visa.
