$1000 additional filing fee

Friends:
Twice I got RFE from INS related to my h1 renewal. My attorney sent supporting docs saying that I'm NOT required to pay 1000$ since this is my first renewal. I'm not sure whether my attorney sent form I-129W to INS.

Btw, I-129W determines whether I'm exempt from the additional filing fee of $1000 imposed by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act.

Does anybody knows why this additional fee, and what determines whether I'm exempt or not.

Thanks
