USCIS has resumed adjudications for H-1B petitions that were previously paused due to a recent presidential proclamation imposing a $100,000 fee. This change comes after months of uncertainty for employers and foreign national employees facing status-related issues. The agency is now issuing approval notices for cases where beneficiaries hold valid H-1B visas, treating these petitions as exempt from the new fee.
Key Details:
- Resumption of adjudications: Effective immediately
- Fee exemption applies to: H-1B petitions with valid visa status
- Previous pause duration: Several months
- Impact: Employers and employees can now proceed with applications without the $100,000 fee concern
