On January 8, 2024, a regulation that would increase filing fees across a wide range of immigration benefit petitions and applications progressed toward implementation, as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) submitted it for federal review. DHS proposed the rule in January 2023 and accepted public comments until March 2023. According to DHS’s regulatory agenda, the final rule will be published in April 2024, but could be published sooner and potentially ahead of the FY2025 H-1B Registration window opening in March 2024. While the specific contents of the final rule cannot be known until it is published, the proposed rule provides a good indication of the changes that will be implemented.
