Groups representing employers and visa applicants sued the Department of Homeland Security Tuesday, aiming to stop dramatic increases to immigration filing fees from taking effect.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: While the lawsuit hopes to halt the implementation of the fee increases, employers at this time should still plan for the new fee rates to take effect April 1. BAL will continue following the litigation and will provide updates as information becomes available.
In a recent survey, a majority of employers told BAL they will not adjust how many petitions they will file but are interested in exploring alternatives. BAL has shared several resources related to the fee rule, including a USCIS fee calculator, analysis of how the increases will affect companies and a webinar on the recently published fee and H-1B selection rules.
This alert has been provided by the BAL U.S. Practice Group.
