Hi,
I have two questions -
1. The law (Omnibus Bill regarding H1B fee increase ) requires most H1B employers to pay a $1500 fee to the USCIS. Persons filing SECOND EXTENSIONS are exempt from this fee. What is this SECOND EXTENSION? Does this Second extension has to be from the same company?
In My case I came to USA in Company A, then changed to company B and then changed to company C. Now after staying in company C for 2 years 6 months, I have to extend the visa. Do I have to pay this $1500 fee ??
2. I pay my H1 fee myself. My employer doesn't pay that. However I heard that THIS $1500 fee has to be on employer's check ? Is it true ?Can I pay that myself?
Please help me...
