I am applying for 2nd Time H-1B Extension.

Do I still have to pay H-1B Data Collection and Filling Fees ..($750 or $1500)?

Fraud Detection and Prevention Fees ..($500)?

I could not find any reference anywhere about paying only $185 fee. I think the H1 extension fee is still $1500 for a company with over 25 employees. I will be applying for the extension because of this EB2 unavailability crap and my h1 6th year is expiring on Oct 1st.

Anybody who have received extension beyond the 1 year increment? I read they can give you extension for as long as 3 years even after the initial 6 years of H1.

Part B. Fee Exemption and/or Determination
In order for USCIS to determine if you must pay the additional $1,500 or $750 fee, please answer all of the following questions:
4. Yes No Is this the second or subsequent request for an extension of stay that you have filed for this alien?
If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, you are ONLY required to submit the fee for your H-1B Form I-129 petition,which is $185. If you answered "No" to all questions, please answer Question 9.
Copied from I129 form Please refer to the form [/COLOR
Hope it helps
But take youe attorneys advice
 
I have a questions about Data collection fees and if anyone can answer, I would appreciate it.

On page 27 under the list of exemptions, it says

Is this an amended petition that does not contain any request for extentions of stay?

I am on H1b and completing 6years by November 2006. I have visa and stamp on passport until that time, but moving to a new job now. Am I subjected to the fee now or not? In my case it is only change of employers, but no extention of stay.


Thanks in advance for the input.
