Hi,
I wanted to know how much does it cost (excluding lawyer fees) to apply for a new H1B Visa? Can you split that cost/fees according various steps (LCA, I-129 etc).
Also let me know what would be the range of fees if we go through an immigration lawyer?

Thanks,
Raj

$185 filing fee, there are no various stages. An educational evaluation will add about another $100 or so and attorney fees typically range from about $500 to $3000 or so, depending on the attorney. More expensive does not necessarily mean a better attorney, it is a matter of overhead and clientelle.
