THE first day of April is barely a month away, but don’t let the proximity fool you – if you are filing for a US working visa (H-1B) or waiting for your immigrant visa schedule and interview.

April 1st is the day that US employers seeking to sponsor working visas for professionals and skilled workers in the US must submit the complete application package, correct filing fees to the appropriate US Citizenship and Immigration Services office. A new H-1B additional fee of $4,000 is required for certain H-1B petitions and $4,500 for certain L-1A and L-1B petitions postmarked on or after December 18, 2015.
