USCIS has issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) regarding the $100,000 H-1B Proclamation Fee for a new petition filed for a beneficiary who previously held a valid H-1B visa stamp. The case was submitted under premium processing, but adjudication has faced delays, leading to complications after the beneficiary’s visa was revoked.
Key Details:
- The $100,000 fee does not apply to new petitions requesting I-797B Consular Notification if the beneficiary had a valid H-1B visa stamp before September 21, 2025.
- The petition was filed in premium processing but has experienced unexplained delays.
- The beneficiary’s visa was revoked after the H-1B filing was submitted, raising questions about the timing of the revocation.
- USCIS is now requiring the $100,000 fee despite the prior valid visa status.
This situation highlights the complexities and uncertainties surrounding H-1B petitions and the implications of visa revocations on processing. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
