H1B - No more $2000 Filing fee

In August 2010, USCIS implemented a public law 111-230 which stated that the H1B dependent employers have to pay an additional fee of $2000.

The fees is only applicable who had 50 or more employers and has more than 50% of employees which are working on H1-B.

Let us see the current fees breakdown.

Type of Fees	Cost
Base Filing Fees	$325
Education and Training Fees	$750
Public Law fees ( Removed now)	$2,000
Premium Processing Fees	$1,225
Anti Fraud Fees	$500

Though this will reduce a burden on small companies which has a lot of H1-b workers, but now the H1b abuse can actually increase. As you know the immigration system is broken and the H1B lottery has loop holes. So the consultancies which used to take money from candidates to apply for an H1-B visa, there will be an increase in that . In short this move will actually cause more H1-B abuse.
