I think it will apply to everybody. One thing I am not sure is $500 fraud fee. The bill says the following:
<Quote> Adds to INA §214(c) a new $500 fraud fee. Such fee will be in addition to other fees and will apply to employers filing either an initial petition for an H-1B or L visa or for a change of status petition. A $500 fraud fee will also be charged for an alien filing a visa application abroad for an L blanket petition. The fee will be imposed only on principal aliens. </Quote>
If fraud fee is not applicable then we can deduct $500 from $2185 for H-1 transfers.
1. Any idea when will this be implemented?
How much time does it normally take for president to sign and approve these?
2. Will it be valid for h4 renewals too?
