Effective March 30, 2006, an additional filing fee of $1,500.00 ($750.00 if 25 employees or less) is applicable. As is the case with attorney’s fees on H-1B cases, the beneficiary is not allowed to pay this amount. The employer or a third party, neither of whom are allowed to be reimbursed by the beneficiary, are required to pay this filing fee. Please advise whether you will be paying the fee. 

The following entities are exempt from paying the $1,500.00/$750.00 fee:

1. An employer that is a primary or secondary education institution or an institution of higher education

2. A non-profit entity related to or affiliated with any such institution.

3. A non-profit entity which engages in established curriculum-related clinical training of students registered at any such institution.

4. A non-profit research organization or governmental research organization.

If your entity is exempt, please forward the appropriate documentation including the following:

1.    Letter from the Internal Revenue Service, informing that your entity is exempt from paying Federal Taxes (501 c3 Letter).         

2.    Affiliation Agreement with any educational institution.

As part of the H-1B procedure for the Labor Condition Application (LCA, it is necessary to list the “Prevailing Wage” for the position.  The best source for determining the Prevailing Wage would be by  an application submitted directly to the State Department of Labor.  A more detailed description of this point, as well as the posting procedure for the LCA, is contained in the annexed memorandum.  Unless the LCA which we prepare for your signature states the survey utilized was “sesa” a prevailing wage request was not obtained.
