Über diesen Titel

New H-1B fees and strict vetting protocols are changing the U.S. immigration landscape. In this episode, we break down the $500 H-1B fee increase for the 2026 lottery season and the new $2,805 premium processing fee you need to be aware of. We also investigate the newly released list of 39 “high-risk” countries and what the pause in processing means for nationals from these regions.

Are your past approvals safe? We discuss the retroactive review of benefits granted since January 20, 2021, and whether USCIS will recheck your green card or visa status under these new directives.

In this video, we cover:
