Check the link below for fees schedule (i-129).

It seems you may qualify for $1000.00 exemption (i-129W) if :-

This petition is the second or subsequent request for an extension of stay filed by the employer regardless of when the
first extension of stay was filed or whether the $1,000 filing fee was paid on the initial petition or the first extension of stay;

1 First time H1 with employer A
2 Then you extend with employer A you pay $ 1000
3 Again you apply for extension with employer A you don’t have to pay $ 1000
it means if it is the second extension with same employer
if you think that you are with employer A with First H1 then want to apply for extension it is not second time extension it is first time extension
