重磅❗️H1B抽签注册费猛涨至$215，能刹住H1B Abuse邪风吗?

USCIS移民局在 1/3/2023 发布了一份「U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Fee Schedule and Changes to Certain Other Immigration Benefit Request Requirements」，其中提议将H1B注册费从原本的$10美金，上涨2050%到$215。

自打USCIS实施电子抽签以来，H1B申请人数一路水涨船高，去年破天荒的有超过48W人递交了H1B抽签申请，中签率不到27%！TOT

其中不乏很多个人和ICC利用H1B只要$10美金就可以抽签的漏洞，违规一人多抽Abuse H1B。

希望如果这一抽签费用涨价的提议能够在今年实施，可以刹住H1B Abuse的邪风，让抽签更加公平！

需要注意的是，这一提议将从 1/4/2023 起开始60天的公示，费用在最终决定确认前不会进行调整。USCIS欢迎公众联系他们积极发表意见，USCIS还会在1月11日举行一个听证会。The 60-day public comment period starts following publication of the NPRM in the Federal Register. Fees will not change until the final rule goes into effect, after the public has had the opportunity to comment and USCIS finalizes the fee schedule in response to such comments. USCIS will host a public engagement session on the proposed fee rule on January 11, 2023.

Note: 另外这个建议中也提议将I-129 Fee: Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker: H-1 Classifications从原本的$460涨至$780. H2/L/O签证的相关费用也有不同程度的上涨。
